Robert Parris Moses Congressional Gold Medal Act

This legislation, titled the "Robert Parris Moses Congressional Gold Medal Act," authorizes the posthumous award of a Congressional Gold Medal to Robert Parris Moses. This honor acknowledges his significant achievements and enduring contributions to both American education and civil rights. Moses is recognized as an influential civil rights activist, peace activist, public education advocate, and math literacy educator, whose work profoundly impacted marginalized communities. His civil rights efforts included organizing and registering thousands of Black residents to vote in Mississippi as a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), notably during the 1964 Mississippi "Freedom" Summer Project. Later, Moses founded the **Algebra Project**, a non-profit dedicated to promoting K-12 math literacy as a crucial path to full citizenship for students from historically marginalized and low-income communities. The bill mandates that the Secretary of the Treasury strike a gold medal with suitable emblems and inscriptions, which will then be presented to his daughter, Maisha Moses, with provisions for striking and selling duplicate bronze medals.
