                       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.
