Whereas, Sara W. Scott and Margaret Hawkins of Philadelphia summoned their friends together on November 9, 1946, in a call to "link their friendship" and resources to form a chain of strength which would work to "improve the quality of life" and provide hope for black citizens who were less advantaged both culturally and educationally; and
Whereas, the four facets define the focus for the energies of the Links: Services to Youth, The Arts, National Trends and Services, and International Trends and Services as structures for the conduct of the Links' projects; and
Whereas, the national organization of friendship has divided itself into four geographical areas to work toward its goals throughout the United States: Eastern, Western, Central, and Southern; and
Whereas, the Southern Area Conference is to be held in Charleston March 21-24, 1991, under the leadership of its national president, Marion Schultz Sutherland, the Southern Area director, Barbara Moore, and the Charleston chapter president, Marsha Hassell, to establish goals and set projects for South Carolina and other Southern Area states; and
Whereas, Southern Area Links, in the spirit of friendship and loving concern, responded to the devastating effects of Hurricane Hugo, through donations of money, other material goods, and moral and spiritual support to the people of South Carolina. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, recognizes and expresses appreciation to Links, Inc., and its Southern Area meeting in Charleston, March 21-24, 1991, for outstanding activities to improve the quality of life of all citizens through the elimination of institutional racism, the establishment of racial justice, the support of educational endeavors as evidenced by its contribution of over one million dollars to the United Negro College Fund, and the enrichment of community life through its cultural activities and services through the arts.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Ms. Marion Schultz Sutherland, Ms. Barbara Moore, and Ms. Marsha Hassell.
