ROUGH CUT, NO REPORTER NARRATION
Pakistani teenager Malala Yousafzai, the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, is awarded the Liberty Medal in the U.S..
The 17-year-old renewed calls for universal education and world peace.
She says her prize money of $100,000 will go to the youth in need in Pakistan.
Yousafzai was attacked in 2012 on a school bus in the Swat Valley in northwest Pakistan by masked gunmen as a punishment for a blog that she started writing for the BBC's Urdu service as an 11-year-old to campaign against the Taliban's efforts to deny women an education.
The Constitution Center in Philadelphia says it awarded the medal to the teenager for her resilience in overcoming adversity.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was the recipient of last year's medal.
