Expressing support for the designation of February 16, 2025, as "International Black Aviation Professionals Day".
This resolution expresses support for designating February 16, 2025, as "International Black Aviation Professionals Day." It requests the President issue a proclamation encouraging schools to teach about Black aviation pioneers' contributions and support opportunities for Black Americans in the field. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but aims to raise public awareness of historical figures like Bessie Coleman, the Tuskegee Airmen, and Katherine Johnson. It affects recognition efforts rather than direct policy changes, focusing on honoring past contributions to aviation.
