Congressman Alan Lowenthal (CA-47) joined with 12 of his House colleagues to reintroduce the Billie Jean King Gold Medal Act, legislation which would award King the Congressional Gold Medal in recognition of her extensive accomplishments and contributions to athletics, women’s equality, the LGBTQ community, and American culture. “The word icon is simply not enough to describe the tremendous impact Billie Jean King has had on not only tennis and the United States, but on the entire world,” Congressman Lowenthal said. “Throughout her life, her passion, her leadership, and her vision have redefined the role of women in both sports and American culture. She is a pioneer in athletics, a trailblazer in the fight for equality, a role model for women and the LGBTQ community, and an inspiration to every American. She has not only earned this honor–she deserves it for the ground she has broken and the paths that she has set.”
