Malloy to get JFK ‘Profile in Courage’ for refugee stand
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy will be awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for his decision to welcome a Syrian refugee family to Connecticut after the governor of Indiana opposed a plan to relocate them to his state. The same honor went to a predecessor, Lowell P. Weicker Jr., in 1992.
