2001-04-13: Leonard Kravitz Act Washington D.C Capitol Building Did anti-Semitism block medal for rocker's namesake? San Diego Jewish Press-Heritage, April. 13, 2001 By Donald H. Harrison Washington (special) A Florida congressman believes the uncle for whom rock singer Lenny Kravitz was named deserved to be awarded a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor for heroism during the Korean War, but instead received a lesser medal because of anti-Semitism in the U.S. military. Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Fla., has been gathering support for a bill he has titled the "Leonard Kravitz Jewish War Veterans Act of 2001." Introduced with the bipartisan support of Reps. Benjamin Gilman (R N.Y.), Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and Joseph Crowley (D-N.Y.), the measure recently gained the support of two Jewish members of Congress from San Diego, Susan Davis and Bob Filner. Wexler's bill, H. R. 606, follows a precedent established in 1996, when Congress directed the military to review the exploits of Asian-American military heroes who might have been unfairly denied Congressional Medals of Honor. That legislation resulted in 21 Asian-Americans being granted the nation's highest military award. In 1997 similar legislation affecting African-American veterans led to the awarding of seven more Medals of Honor. The congressman and his colleagues also have cited the cases of Korean War Army Cpl. Tibor Rubin and World War II Army Capt. Artie Klein and Army Sgt. Raymond Groden as other examples of Jews who may have been unfairly bypassed.
