COMMITTEE REPORT

January 28, 1999

H. 3336

Introduced by Reps. M. Hines, McGee, McKay, J. Hines and Askins

S. Printed 1/28/99--H.

Read the first time January 21, 1999.

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3336), to request the Department of Transportation to name the Church Street Bridge, etc., respectfully

That they have duly and carefully considered the same, and recommend that the same do pass:

RICHARD M. QUINN, JR., for Committee.

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE CHURCH STREET BRIDGE BETWEEN WEST DARLINGTON STREET AND EAST CHEVES STREET IN THE CITY OF FLORENCE IN HONOR OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS REFLECTING THIS DESIGNATION.

Whereas, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 15, 1929, and became one of the world's most well-known, respected, and revered advocates of nonviolent social change; and

Whereas, Dr. King delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" oration on August 28, 1963, and the following year he was the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize and was named Time Magazine's Man of the Year; and

Whereas, Dr. King was tragically assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee, while seeking to assist a garbage workers' strike; and

Whereas, Dr. King continues to be revered by many for his martyrdom and undying effort on behalf of nonviolence to unite blacks and whites in the United States; and

Whereas, it is appropriate and fitting to name the Church Street Bridge, which serves as a connector between the African-American and Caucasian communities in the City of Florence, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the General Assembly requests the Department of Transportation to name the Church Street Bridge between West Darlington Street and East Cheves Street in the City of Florence in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and to erect appropriate markers or signs reflecting this designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
