Expressing support for the designation of February 16, 2023, as "International Black Aviation Professionals Day".

HRES 131 is a symbolic resolution expressing support for designating February 16, 2023, as "International Black Aviation Professionals Day." It recognizes the historical contributions of Black aviation professionals - from pioneers like Bessie Coleman and the Tuskegee Airmen to modern figures like Katherine Johnson - and encourages public acknowledgment of their achievements. The resolution requests the President issue a proclamation urging schools and communities to educate about these contributions and support greater opportunities for Black Americans in aviation careers. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create new laws or funding but aims to promote awareness and inclusion in the aviation industry.
