English: President Barack Obama speaks at the Medal of Honor ceremony honoring World War I soldiers Pvt. Henry Johnson and Sgt. William Shemin, at the White House, Washington, D.C., June 2, 2015. Johnson was overlooked for the nation's highest military honor because he was African-American, while Shemin was passed over because he was Jewish, Obama said.
