AI Summary
- Honors the life and memory of Anne C. Forsyth, who established the Anne C. Stouffer Foundation in 1967 to promote the integration of preparatory schools in the South
- The foundation helped 142 students, chiefly African Americans, gain admission to 22 formerly all-white preparatory schools across nine states and Washington, D.C. over eight years of operation
- By 1975, the foundation's goal of preparatory school integration was largely achieved and the program concluded; many scholars went on to attend prestigious universities
- Recognizes the lasting impact of the foundation, as many participating preparatory schools have since established their own scholarship programs and actively recruit minority students
- Coincides with the Stouffer Scholars reunion held February 5-7, 2016, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to Forsyth's family and the Stouffer Scholars
