The purpose of this legislation is to honor the life and contributions of Rosa Parks by minting commemorative coins. Rosa Parks is celebrated for her pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement, particularly for her act of defiance in refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. This act sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and became a significant moment in the fight against racial segregation. The legislation outlines specific provisions for the minting of three types of commemorative coins: $5 gold coins, silver coins, and half-dollar clad coins.
