Expressing support for the designation of February 1, 2023, as ``George 
                        Washington Carver Day''.

Whereas George Washington Carver was one of the greatest American agricultural 
        scientists and humanitarians of the 20th century;
Whereas George Washington Carver was born enslaved in Missouri, in circa 1864, 
        and eventually pursued higher education in Iowa;
Whereas George Washington Carver was Iowa State University's first Black student 
        and Black faculty member, and later earned international renown as a 
        faculty member at the Tuskegee University in Alabama;
Whereas George Washington Carver gained an international reputation in research, 
        teaching and outreach, and created hundreds of products from peanuts, 
        soybeans, sweet potatoes, and other crops; and
Whereas his humanitarian efforts changed the lives of countless farmers and 
        families in poverty: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports a ``George 
Washington Carver Day'' to celebrate and commemorate George Washington 
Carver's enduring legacy and contributions to our Nation.
