“Since 1978, the Kennedy Center Honors have been among the most prestigious awards in the performing arts. This year, the board has selected a truly exceptional class of honorees…” @realDonaldTrump
Fact-Check Summary The post accurately states that the Kennedy Center Honors have been among the most prestigious performing arts awards since 1978.
