This resolution expresses the sense of Congress that August 30, 2025, should be observed as the 135th anniversary of the 1890 Institutions. These institutions are land-grant universities, primarily for African Americans, established by the Second Morrill Act of 1890 to provide educational instruction, agricultural research, and statewide extension efforts. They collectively serve over 88,000 undergraduate and graduate students across diverse disciplines, including agriculture , STEM fields , and various sciences. Congress recognizes the 135 years of significant contributions made by these 19 historically Black institutions to the United States. The resolution highlights recent federal investments through farm bills, including scholarships and the establishment of centers of excellence, and acknowledges the ongoing federal-state partnership that requires matching funds. It also celebrates the collaborative work with the Department of Agriculture and encourages other federal agencies to build stronger partnerships. Ultimately, Congress commits to working in a bipartisan manner to address past funding and program inequities faced by the 1890 Institutions.
