AI Summary
This bill directs the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate to arrange for the posthumous presentation of a Congressional Gold Medal in commemoration of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African American boy who was brutally lynched in 1955, and his mother, Mamie Till-Mobley, who bravely brought national attention to his murder and became a catalyst for the civil rights movement.

The bill also allows the Treasury Secretary to strike and sell duplicate bronze medals to cover the costs of producing the original gold medal.
