V4 2001 INDEX E-SYLUM ARCHIVE

The E-Sylum: Volume 4, Number 32, August 5 , 2001, Article 16 FEATURED WEB PAGES This week's featured web pages relate to gold medals whose recipients did come forward to claim them - Congressional Gold Medals.. The first is a June15, 1999 account of the awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal to Rosa Parks. "Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, on December 5, 1955, triggered a black boycott of the city's bus system that lasted more than a year and eventually led to laws that ended legalized segregation." The second page is a government list of recipients of the gold medal, beginning with George Washington in 1776. The page will have to be updated to include the recent award to the WWII Navajo Code Talkers. The third page is a more up-to-date and much more complete listing from the Dallas Public Library, featuring photos of some of the medals. http://www.cnn.com/US/9906/15/rosa.parks.medal/ http://clerkweb.house.gov/histrecs/househis/lists/medal.htm http://dallaslibrary.org/CGI/goldframe.htm
