Whereas, Mrs. Frazier is a native of Manning, South Carolina who was educated in the Clarendon County schools; and
Whereas, Mrs. Frazier later moved to Charleston where she became active in local civic affairs; and
Whereas, she served as Vice Chairperson of the City of Charleston Democratic Party from 1971 to 1975; and
Whereas, she was elected to the Charleston County Council in November 1974, becoming the first female to serve on the council; and
Whereas, she was elected to the First Congressional District seat on the Public Service Commission (PSC) by unanimous vote of the General Assembly in 1980; and
Whereas, Mrs. Frazier's election to the PSC marked the first time that an African-American, female, or non-legislator was so elected; and
Whereas, Mrs. Frazier served continuously on the PSC until her recent retirement, highlighted by a two-year term as chairperson from July 1990 until July 1992; and
Whereas, she was listed in the 1977-78 edition of "Personalities of the South" and the first edition of "Personalities of America"; and
Whereas, she was inducted into the Charleston Federation of Womens Clubs' Hall of Fame in 1991; and
Whereas, Mrs. Frazier has been honored by other local civic, religious, political, and service organizations too numerous to mention in this resolution. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly request the Department of Transportation to name the section of Interstate Highway 26 beginning at Mt. Pleasant Street and ending at the Terminal Interchange at U.S. Route 17 for Marjorie Amos-Frazier.
