HRES 667 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of August as National Black Business Month and to honor the contributions of Black-owned businesses across the United States.

This resolution supports designating August as National Black Business Month to honor the economic contributions of Black-owned businesses across the U.S. It recognizes that Black businesses, which contributed $83.6 billion in receipts in 2023 and employed over 1.3 million people, continue to face barriers like limited access to capital and higher loan denial rates. The resolution does not create new laws or programs but symbolically acknowledges their historical and current impact on the economy. It is a non-binding House resolution passed to raise awareness, not to mandate policy changes.
