Chairman Hensarling Honors Victims of 16th Street Church Bombing

Washington, Apr 25 -

Freedom and human dignity are the ideals upon which our country was founded -- and these ideals leave no room whatsoever for bigotry and hatred -- none.

H.R. 360 posthumously bestows Congress's highest civilian honor -- the Congressional Gold Medal -- to Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Denise McNair. This legislation is a reminder of America's noble founding and a tribute to these four girls whose tragic deaths galvanized a nation to action.
