Read the first time May 4, 1999.
To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4018), designating May 2, 1999, as "Sarah Ann Potee Owens State Prayer Day", etc., respectfully
Has polled the Concurrent Resolution out majority favorable.
DESIGNATING MAY 2, 1999, AS "SARAH ANN POTEE OWENS STATE PRAYER DAY", IN RECOGNITION OF MRS. SARAH ANN POTEE OWENS' EFFORTS TO ESTABLISH A SPECIAL DAY OF PRAYER TO ADDRESS OUR NATION'S CRIME PROBLEM.
Whereas, Mrs. Sarah Ann Potee Owens was born in Columbia, South Carolina, on May 2, 1912, and departed this life on April 21, 1999; and
Whereas, for fifty-three years she was the devoted wife of the late Mr. Thomas C. Owens, and together they were the parents of eight successful children; and
Whereas, at an early age she dedicated her life to Christ and at the age of thirteen she began teaching Sunday school at Emmanuel A.M.E. Church where she was a life member; and
Whereas, Mrs. Owens devoted forty-one years of her life as a teacher and administrator in the public school system in this State; and
Whereas, in 1991, in response to the serious crime problem that grips our nation, she petitioned former President George Bush to establish a special day of prayer to address that issue; and
Whereas, although her dream of establishing a national day of prayer to address the issue of crime was not realized, in the wake of a number of recent serious acts of violence across our nation, it is imperative that the members of the General Assembly establish a state day of prayer to address this issue. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, designates May 2, 1999, as "Sarah Ann Potee Owens State Prayer Day" in recognition of Mrs. Sarah Ann Potee Owens' efforts to establish a special day of prayer to address our nation's crime problem.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of the late Sarah Ann Potee Owens.
