What it does
The Marshall 'Major' Taylor Congressional Gold Medal Act would posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to Marshall Walter Major Taylor in recognition of his achievements as a pioneering Black cyclist, athlete, and advocate for equal rights. The bill authorizes the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange the presentation, directs the Secretary of the Treasury to design and strike the medal, and specifies that the medal be given to Taylor’s great-granddaughter, Karen Donovan. It also allows for the sale of bronze duplicates, with proceeds deposited into the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund to cover costs.
