Barack Obama actually said...

Now, Therefore, I, Barack Obama, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim October 24, 2016, as United Nations Day.

I do want to make one thing clear.

HBCUs and community colleges help build our Nation's economy and strengthen the middle class.

Today, more Americans are earning a degree in post-secondary education than ever before, and HBCUs are playing an important role.
