A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 81 FROM THE CITY LIMIT OF GREENVILLE TO THE POINT ONE MILE SOUTH OF THE CITY LIMIT IN GREENVILLE COUNTY IN HONOR OF BISHOP WILLIAM EDWARD FULLER, SR.

Whereas, Bishop William Edward Fuller, Sr., was born on January 29, 1875, in Mountville, South Carolina; and

Whereas, Bishop Fuller led the Fire Baptized Holiness Church of God of the Americas for sixty years; and

Whereas, Bishop Fuller was a great statesman, educator, a man of cohesive power and wisdom, a dynamic preacher, and a crusader for the true and living God; and

Whereas, he was the founder, organizer, and president of the Fuller Normal and Industrial Institute in Atlanta, Georgia, which opened its doors in 1912; and

Whereas, in 1923, Bishop Fuller moved the Fuller Normal and Industrial Institute from Atlanta, Georgia, to Greenville, South Carolina; and

Whereas, under his leadership, the Greenville campus grew to include twelve acres of land, the Caroline Williams Phelps Administration Building, and Emma Wright Fuller Hall which served as an academic classroom building and dormitory; and

Whereas, after Bishop Fuller's death in 1958, his son, Bishop William Edward Fuller, Jr., has carried on his father's legacy by overseeing the addition of ten and one-half acres to the Institute's campus and construction of four additional buildings; and

Whereas, the Fuller Normal and Industrial Institute has hosted numerous national and international religious conventions and meetings; and

Whereas, it is filling and proper that South Carolina 81 from the city limit of Greenville to the point one mile south of the city limit in Greenville County be designated and named the "Bishop William Edward Fuller, Sr., Highway" as a lasting tribute to this distinguished South Carolinian. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation designate and name South Carolina Highway 81 in Greenville County described in this resolution as the "Bishop William Edward Fuller, Sr., Highway" and to install appropriate markers or signs at places along the highway as the department considers advisable containing the words "Bishop William Edward Fuller, Sr., Highway."

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation and the family of Bishop William Edward Fuller, Sr.
