Whereas, he served in the South Carolina House of Representatives from the late 1930's until his tragic death in 1941; and
Whereas, Mr. Black played an instrumental role in establishing his family's peach farming business in 1923. Today, Black's Peaches is renowned for offering their customers "the freshest and tastiest peaches imaginable"; and

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