Robert Parris Moses Congressional Gold Medal Act
Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill recognizes Robert Parris Moses for civil rights organizing, voter registration work in Mississippi, the Mississippi Freedom Summer Project, education advocacy, and math literacy work through the Algebra Project. It directs congressional leaders to arrange a posthumous Congressional Gold Medal, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to strike a medal bearing his image and name, gives the medal to Maisha Moses, and uses the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to cover production costs while depositing duplicate bronze medal proceeds back into that fund.
Who Benefits and How
Robert Parris Moses family, civil rights educators, math literacy advocates, and communities connected to the Mississippi voting-rights movement benefit from official national recognition. The public and medal collectors may also gain access to duplicate bronze medals if offered for sale by the Mint.
Who Bears the Burden and How
The Speaker of the House, President pro tempore of the Senate, Secretary of the Treasury, and United States Mint must arrange the presentation, design, strike, and finance the medals.
