This bill proposes to award a Congressional Gold Medal posthumously to Marshall Walter "Major" Taylor , a legendary figure in American sports history. The recognition honors his exceptional contributions as an athlete, trailblazer, role model, and unwavering advocate for equal rights. Born in 1878, Taylor overcame immense racial prejudice to become a world champion cyclist, setting numerous records and inspiring generations. The legislation details Taylor's remarkable life, from his early start in cycling and acquiring the nickname "Major" to his professional debut and subsequent world championship title in 1899. He consistently faced and overcame significant racial discrimination, including exclusion from competitions and physical threats, yet maintained his dignity and good sportsmanship. The bill mandates that the gold medal, once struck with suitable emblems and inscriptions, be presented to his great-granddaughter, Karen Donovan, and also authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to strike and sell duplicate bronze medals to the public.
