TO THANK THE MEMBERS OF THE SELECTION RECOMMENDATION COMMITTEE OF THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN HISTORY MONUMENT COMMISSION FOR THEIR DEDICATION TO SEEING THAT THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS TO THIS STATE RECEIVE OVERDUE RECOGNITION ON THE STATE HOUSE GROUNDS.

Whereas, the General Assembly authorized an African American History Monument on the Capitol Complex grounds to honor the struggles and contributions of African Americans during this state's history; and

Whereas, eleven private citizens, historians, artists, and museum professionals worked tirelessly during a year-long, national search to select a design that would represent this rich, colorful history; and

Whereas, the monument designed by sculptor Ed Dwight is closer to reality because of this committee's efforts; and

Whereas, it is appropriate for the General Assembly to pause in its deliberations and recognize the contributions of the committee members; and

Whereas, committee members included chairman Mac Arthur Goodwin, Elizabeth Alston, William Bodine, Dr. Walter B. Edgar, Amanda Hawkins, Dr. Terry K. Hunter, Dr. Henry G. Michaux, John Rainey, James Wakefield, Dr. Robert R. Weyeneth, and Manning Williams. Now, therefore,

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

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, commends and thanks the committee members for their efforts.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the above listed committee members.
