Youngest Nobel Peace Prize recipient Malala to receive another award in Phila.

Malala Yousafzai, who on Friday became the youngest person to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, will be in Philadelphia later this month.

The 17-year-old will receive the National Constitution Center's 2014 Liberty Medal on Oct. 21 at the museum on Independence Mall.

That same day, she will participate in a public talk with MSNBC host Ronan Farrow during the Forbes "30 Under 30" Summit to be held at the Convention Center.

Malala, an advocate for access to education for all children and women, survived being shot in head by a Taliban gunman while on a school bus in Pakistan. The Taliban had banned girls from attending schools.
