AI Government Intelligence™House Resolution 1424 from the 118th Congress expresses the sense of Congress that August 30, 2024, should be observed as the 134th anniversary of the 1890 Institutions. These institutions refer to historically Black land-grant universities established under the Second Morrill Act of 1890. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Agriculture but did not advance further and ultimately failed or expired. The bill does not include substantive legislative provisions or funding but serves as a formal recognition and commemoration.
