What this bill would do

The Sarah Keys Evans Congressional Gold Medal Act aims to award a Congressional Gold Medal to Sarah Keys Evans. This honor recognizes her achievements as an Army veteran and civil rights pioneer who fought against bus segregation. Her legal battle led to a landmark ICC decision outlawing the segregation of Black passengers on interstate buses. The bill authorizes the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange the presentation of the medal. Additionally, it directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the gold medal.
