H.R. No. 376 is a resolution recognizing April 4, 2025, as Texas HBCU Day in honor of the fourth annual Texas HBCU Conference Series, titled Democracy Schools, taking place at Huston-Tillotson University. The conference, which began in 2022, is part of a leadership development and civic engagement initiative that draws inspiration from historical grassroots activism, particularly the Freedom Schools of the civil rights era. It aims to foster discussions among students, faculty, and community partners about the cultural aspects of democracy and citizenship, incorporating diverse perspectives from various academic disciplines.

The theme for this year's conference focuses on the civic power and legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and their role in shaping Black educational history and practice. Presenters will explore how civil society groups and institutions can enhance and renew democracy. The resolution emphasizes the significant contributions of HBCUs to fostering meaningful citizenship and advancing democracy in Texas and the nation, and it extends best wishes for a successful event to all participants.
