this resolution relates to historically black colleges and universities and the designation of a period of time to express appreciation for the tremendous function and job they carry out in this great country of ours. In my own city of Nashville, my hometown, and where I live now, we have two wonderful historically black institutions of learning. One is a medical center, Meharry Medical College; and the another is Fisk University. The contributions those two institutions of learning have made to our community, and indeed to the global community, and in the sense of Meharry to the national community of physicians, has been just tremendous. I know both sides of the aisle take great pleasure in once again recognizing this period of time that we can celebrate the great work that is done.
