Joan Trumpauer Mulholland Congressional Gold Medal Act

HR 3622, the Joan Trumpauer Mulholland Congressional Gold Medal Act, authorizes the award of a Congressional Gold Medal to Joan Trumpauer Mulholland in recognition of her civil rights activism during the 1960s and her lifelong commitment to social justice. The medal, to be struck by the U.S. Mint, will be presented to Mulholland or, if she is unavailable, to her son, honoring her direct actions - including sit-ins, Freedom Rides, and integration efforts - and her subsequent work as an educator and civil rights advocate.
