RECOGNIZING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NATIONAL HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES (HBCU) CONFERENCE WEEK
______
HON. ALMA S. ADAMS
of north carolina
in the house of representatives
Friday, September 3, 2021
Ms. ADAMS. Madam Speaker, today, I introduced a Resolution to recognize National Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Conference Week.
HBCUs are an integral part of our society--academically, socially, and economically. Recognizing the value of HBCUs is vital as we continue to look forward to a more equitable society for all.
To that end, this Resolution provides a brief historical overview of HBCUs and how they came to be, and reaffirms our collective commitment to support the students of these colleges and universities.
