                            JOINT RESOLUTION

 
  Designating May 6, 1994, as ``African-American Women Positive Role 
                              Model Day''.

Whereas African-American women have strengthened and contributed to the United 
        States in every aspect of life, including art, science, civil service, 
        military service, athletics, education, business, law, and politics;
Whereas African-American women have played an essential role as heads of 
        households and pillars of proud and productive African-American 
        families, often in hostile social and economic environments;
Whereas African-American women have ably assumed community, regional, national, 
        and international leadership roles, thereby achieving well-deserved 
        recognition for their contributions and achievements; and
Whereas African-American women continue to serve as strong, positive role models 
        for the young within their communities, as well as throughout the Nation 
        and the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 
States of America in Congress assembled,
That May 6, 1994, is designated as ``African-American Women Positive 
Role Model Day'', and the President is authorized and requested to 
issue a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to 
observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
