John,

On September 22, 1961, after months of protests
and arrests of Freedom Riders on public transit, the Interstate
Commerce Commission finally ordered the removal of “whites only”
signs from interstate bus terminals throughout the South by
November 1st of that year.

The ruling came after a diverse coalition of men,
women, and people of all ages, united against segregationist hate
and demanded equality.

As a member of Congress, I had the honor to serve
with one of the original Freedom Riders, my friend, the late John
Lewis. To honor his legacy, and that of all Freedom Riders, I
introduced House Resolution 1348
( [link removed] )
, to award a Congressional Gold Medal to the Freedom Riders in
recognition of their unique contribution to Civil Rights,
inspiring a revolutionary movement for equality in interstate
travel.

60 years later, I recently gave remarks on this
historic anniversary, and urged my colleagues to cosponsor this
bill. You can watch that video here.
