John Sessions Memorial Award - Wikipedia

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

the reason why I chose this article because I heard about the John sessions memorial award, but I never knew how people got it and the reason why. This award matters because it contributed to the labor movement to the United States. My preliminary impression of it was that this award was for people who made a difference in the job market. The article could have put images of the reward in the article. The article is very unbiased, it doesn't show any favoritism to any person.
