HRES 1064 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of February 16, 2026, as "International Black Aviation Professionals Day".

HRES 1064 is a symbolic resolution designating February 16, 2026, as "International Black Aviation Professionals Day" to honor historical contributions by Black aviation pioneers. It does not create new laws or allocate funds but requests the President issue a proclamation encouraging nationwide recognition of these contributions, including through educational curriculum updates in schools and libraries. The resolution specifically highlights figures like Bessie Coleman, the Tuskegee Airmen, and Katherine Johnson, and urges support for greater diversity in aviation careers. This designation directly celebrates past achievements and aims to inspire future opportunities for Black professionals in aviation, without mandating any specific actions.
