Remarks by the President on Signing Executive Order on Historically Black Colleges and Universities
4:54 P.M. EST THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, everybody. Please have a seat. (Applause.) Thank you very much. Well, it is wonderful to be here. And thank you for the outstanding introduction by Mr. Smart. And I was complimenting him on his bowtie — (laughter) — as well as the excellent scholarship that he’s showing. I want to thank all the student leaders from HBCUs and some of the fantastic men and women that I’ve named to serve on my HBCU advisory board. So thank you, all of you, for what you are contributing to this important cause
