HR1341: HR1341 F. DuBois Bowman Day; 02/11/26; F. DuBois Bowman; inauguration as the 13th President of Morehouse College; recognize

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It commends Dr. F. DuBois Bowman, who was inaugurated as the 13th president of Morehouse College on July 15, 2025, and formally recognizes February 11, 2026 as F. DuBois Bowman Day in Georgia. The resolution recounts Dr. Bowman's background as a Morehouse alumnus, his academic honors, and his research on neurological and mental health disorders. It closes by directing the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to Dr. Bowman himself, which is the only concrete action the text requires.
