Whereas, Brewer Institute, which later became Brewer Normal School, Brewer High School, and is currently Brewer Middle School, was the first school for African American students in the City of Greenwood; and

Whereas, Brewer Institute was named in honor of Reverend Josiah Brewer, a distinguished missionary; and

Whereas, this site and the facilities that have occupied it have been a focal point of the African American community in the filed of education for many generations; and

Whereas, it has come to the attention of the members of the General Assembly that Brewer Middle School will be demolished and a new middle school will be constructed to replace this facility; and

Whereas, since the site upon which Brewer Middle School stands and the legacy of the Reverend Josiah Brewer have played an important role in the history of the African American community that should be preserved. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, request that the members of the Greenwood School District 50 Board of Trustees designate the site upon which Brewer Middle School stands as a historical landmark, construct the middle school that will replace the current Brewer Middle School on this site, and allow the new middle school to retain the name Brewer Middle School.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the members of the Greenwood School District 50 Board of Trustees.
