The bill proposes to amend chapter 9 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section, designated as section 9.407, which will establish a "historically black college and university diversity, equity, and inclusion week." This initiative aims to promote awareness and appreciation of the contributions of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) in Missouri, fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion within the educational framework. The specific details of the new section, including its objectives and implementation strategies, are not provided in the text. However, the introduction of this section signifies a legislative effort to enhance the recognition of HBCUs and their role in advancing equity in education. The bill does not include any deletions from current law.
