Reaffirming the commitment of the Federal Government to historically Black colleges and universities and honoring their enduring legacy and contributions.

Affirming federal support for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), this nonbinding resolution would honor their history and reaffirm the Federal Government’s commitment to their growth, sustainability, and partnerships. The resolution notes HBCUs educate nearly 300,000 students, produce about 50 percent of Black teachers, about 70 percent of Black dentists, and about 80 percent of Black judges, contribute about $16.5 billion to the U.S. economy and support more than 134,000 jobs, lead in research and workforce development, and directs the Clerk of the House to provide enrolled copies to federal agencies that partner with HBCUs.
