COMMENDING SENATE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE GLENN MCCONNELL FOR HIS DISTINGUISHED SERVICE AS CHAIRMAN OF THE AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY MONUMENT COMMISSION.

Whereas, the African American Monument Commission was established in 1996 and Senator Glenn McConnell was named chairman of the commission; and

Whereas, his hard work and clear vision kept the work of the commission focused and on course, even as the General Assembly wrestled with issues that had the potential to divide South Carolinians along racial lines; and

Whereas, his able leadership, the hard work of his fellow commissioners, and the gifts of generous donors bore fruit in the unveiling and dedication of the monument in a moving ceremony on Thursday, March 29, 2001; and

Whereas, the monument is a tangible expression of the distance the people of this State have traveled in reconciling themselves to the injustices of the past and a place at which all South Carolinians can dedicate themselves to a future free of those injustices; and

Whereas, it is appropriate for the members of the Senate to pause in their deliberations so they might honor and recognize one of their own for his central role in bringing the monument to fruition. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the Senate, by this resolution, commend Senate President Pro Tempore Glenn McConnell for his distinguished service as Chairman of the African American History Monument Commission.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Senator McConnell.
