Underscore something present

This observation again underscores the deep-seted unity of the Western educational world under the sign of a Latin language forcefully - and uniformly - present.

What does "underscore something present" mean?

You've matched up the words incorrectly. "present" applies to "Latin language", not directly to "underscore". In full, the last part would be "a Latin language that is forcefully -- and uniformly -- present".
