    How should Congress decide which civil rights activists from the 1950s deserve a Congressional Gold Medal versus others whose contributions may be less widely known?

  2. 02

    What does a Congressional Gold Medal accomplish that other forms of recognition, like naming buildings or establishing scholarships, might not achieve?

  3. 03

    Should the criteria for awarding Congressional Gold Medals prioritize individuals whose actions led to specific legal changes, or can symbolic recognition stand alone?
