        prominent role in American history;
Whereas black colleges and universities have allowed many underprivileged 
        students to attain their full potential through higher education; and
Whereas the achievements and goals of historically black colleges and 
        universities are deserving of national recognition: Now, therefore, be 
        it
    Resolved, That the Senate designates the weeks beginning September 
24, 1995, and September 22, 1996, as ``National Historically Black 
Colleges and Universities Week''. The Senate requests the President of 
the United States to issue a proclamation calling on the people of the 
United States and interested groups to observe the weeks with 
appropriate ceremonies, activities, and programs to demonstrate support 
for historically black colleges and universities in the United States.
