Sarah Keys Evans Congressional Gold Medal Act
HR 1377, the Sarah Keys Evans Congressional Gold Medal Act, authorizes a Congressional Gold Medal to honor Sarah Keys Evans for her pivotal role in ending interstate bus segregation. The bill directs the Treasury Secretary to strike a gold medal (and bronze duplicates for sale) to commemorate her 1952 refusal to give up her bus seat, which led to the ICC ruling that outlawed racial segregation on interstate buses in 1955. This is a ceremonial honor recognizing her civil rights contribution, not a policy change affecting any laws or people.
