Bill Clinton actually said...

I do hereby proclaim September 22 through September 28, 1996, as National Historically Black Colleges and Universities Week.

HBCUs give these students not only access to a quality education, but also a supportive environment in which to learn and positive role mode...

I'm proud of the fact that we have 10 1/2 million more jobs and record exports.

The future of HBCUs is as bright as their past, and they are busy developing ways to meet the challenges of a new century.
