To award a Congressional Gold Medal to the Golden Thirteen, in recognition of their contributions to the Nation.
The Golden Thirteen Congressional Gold Medal Act awards a Congressional Gold Medal to the Golden Thirteen, the first Black officers in the U.S. Navy, in recognition of their contributions. The bill authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to strike a gold medal and bronze duplicates, with proceeds from bronze sales going to the U.S. Mint Public Enterprise Fund. The gold medal will be presented to the Smithsonian Institution for display and research, with the expectation that it will also be shown at other locations associated with the Golden Thirteen.
