schema:text	Quick Take President Donald Trump was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor in 1986, but it wasn’t given for his “work within the black community,” as a popular meme circulating on social media claims. Full Story A claim circulating on social media misrepresents an award given to President Donald Trump in 1986. He was not honored for his “work within the black community.” Instead, the Ellis Island Medal of Honor was given to Trump, who was a real estate developer at the time, for his contributions to the city of New York through his development projects, said Otto Coca, spokesman for the Ellis Island Honors Society. That’s the group that gives the award. The year Trump was honored was the first year the award was given, Coca said, and Trump was one of 86 people to receive a medal. Between 90 and 100 people are honored each year, Coca told us. This year, the singer Paula Abdul and Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff were among the honorees. According to the Ellis Island Honors Society’s website, the medals are given to those “whose accomplishments in their field and inspired service to our nation are cause for celebration.” Despite the actual meaning behind the award, the fabricated claim that Trump was honored for his “work within the black community” has been shared widely on Facebook and Twitter, where it appears to have originated on a pro-Trump account.
