COMMITTEE REPORT

March 21, 2018

S. 974

S. Printed 3/21/18--H.

Read the first time February 28, 2018.

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (S. 974) to request the Department of Transportation name the pedestrian bridge in the City of Orangeburg that crosses Chestnut Street the "Dr. Emily England Clyburn Pedestrian Bridge" and erect appropriate markers, etc., respectfully

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

JIMMY C. BALES for Committee.

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE IN THE CITY OF ORANGEBURG THAT CROSSES CHESTNUT STREET THE "DR. EMILY ENGLAND CLYBURN PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THIS DESIGNATION.

Whereas, Dr. Emily England Clyburn is the daughter of the late Peter and Mattie England of Moncks Corner; and

Whereas, she has been married to Congressman James E. Clyburn since 1961. Together they are the proud parents of three daughters, and have four adorable grandchildren; and

Whereas, Dr. Clyburn received her bachelor's degree from South Carolina State University and a master's degree in Librarianship from the University of South Carolina. She also holds an honorary doctorate of Human Letters from South Carolina State University; and

Whereas, her entire professional career has been associated with some aspect of librarianship. She established the library at Fairwold Middle School (now W.G. Sanders) in the City of Columbia, served as head librarian at the Naval Hospital in the City of Charleston, and served two tours as assistant librarian at the Veterans Administration Hospital in the City of Columbia, from which she retired in 1994; and

Whereas, she is a member of Morris Brown AME Church in the City of Charleston, a life member of the NAACP and the South Carolina State University National Alumni Association, and is actively involved in the Congressional Black Caucus Spouses organization; and

Whereas, since 2005 Dr. Clyburn and her husband have raised more than $1.7 million for the James E. and Emily E. Clyburn Endowment for Archives and History at South Carolina State University; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the many good works that this daughter of South Carolina has performed not only for the South Carolina State University family, but for the citizens of this great State and nation by naming the pedestrian bridge that crosses Chestnut Street in the City of Orangeburg in her honor. 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 name the pedestrian bridge in the City of Orangeburg that crosses Chestnut Street the "Dr. Emily England Clyburn Pedestrian Bridge" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this location containing this designation.

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