H. Res. 1133 
In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 19, 2010. 
Whereas from 1654 until 1865, slavery for life was legal 
within the boundaries of much of the present United 
States; 
Whereas slaveholders limited or prohibited education of 
enslaved African-Americans because they believed it 
would empower them; 
Whereas African slaves, because they were not considered 
citizens, could not register any invention with the U.S. 
Patent Office; 
Whereas any free person wanting to patent a scientific inven-
tion could not acknowledge any contribution from a slave; 
Whereas there is a strong likelihood that scientific innovation 
during the period of slavery may have been undocu-
mented or stolen; 
Whereas after slavery had been abolished, the majority of Af-
rican-Americans lived in poverty and faced legal and so-
cial discrimination; 
Whereas Historically Black Colleges and Universities were 
founded because few institutions of higher learning in the 
United States admitted students of African-American de-
scent;
