Congressional Tribute to Constance Baker Motley Act of 2025

This bill would have Congress award a Congressional Gold Medal, after her death, to Constance Baker Motley, a civil rights lawyer, New York elected official, and federal judge. The Secretary of the Treasury would design and make the medal, which must include her image and name. The medal would be presented to her son, Joel Motley III, and her niece, Constance Royster, and then given to her son to keep. The U.S. Mint could make and sell bronze copies at a price that covers their cost, with costs paid from and sale money returned to the United States Mint Public Enterprise Fund.
