What it does
The bill would posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal to Constance Baker Motley in recognition of her pioneering civil rights work and historic achievements as a lawyer, judge, and public official. It authorizes the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange the presentation of the medal, which would be designed and struck by the Secretary of the Treasury and presented to her son, Joel Motley III, and her niece, Constance Royster, with the medal ultimately given to Joel Motley III. The bill also allows for the sale of duplicate bronze medals, with proceeds deposited into the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund to cover costs.
