The bill would authorize a Congressional Gold Medal for Sarah Keys Evans in recognition of her role in challenging segregation on interstate buses. It would direct the Treasury Secretary to design and strike the medal. The Secretary could also make bronze duplicates and sell them at prices sufficient to cover their costs.
If enacted, the bill would honor Evans with a Congressional Gold Medal. The Treasury Secretary could offer bronze duplicate medals for sale.
The bill gives no total cost for the gold medal. It says sales of bronze duplicates must cover their production costs, including labor, materials, and overhead.
The bill’s findings describe Evans as an Army veteran and civil rights pioneer. They say her refusal to give up her seat led to a ruling against segregation on interstate buses.
