A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE INTERCHANGE LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 20 AND SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY 555 IN RICHLAND COUNTY "ADELL T. ADAMS INTERCHANGE" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS INTERCHANGE THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "ADELL T. ADAMS INTERCHANGE".

Whereas, Adell Carlethia Thompson Adams, the daughter of the late Roy W. Thompson and the late Nettie Holliday Thompson, was born in Columbia, South Carolina, on July 29, 1941; and

Whereas, she graduated from Benedict College, magna cum laude in 1962 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Education and earned a Master's degree in Education from South Carolina State College in 1967; and

Whereas, she together with her husband the late Benjamin E. Adams are the parents of two children; and

Whereas, Mrs. Adams served with distinction as a music teacher in the public schools of Richland and Fairfield Counties for over thirty-one years; and

Whereas, she served as a Girl Scout leader for ten years. During her tenure, she was selected as a delegate to the National Girl Scout Convention that modernized the Girl Scout pledge; and

Whereas, Mrs. Adams has held numerous leadership positions with both the Richland County Education Association and the South Carolina Education Association which included President of the Richland County Education Association, and member of the Board of the South Carolina Education Association; and

Whereas, since 1980, she has been an active member of the NAACP and is a past president of the Columbia Branch; and

Whereas, she has been an active participant in the periodical reapportioning of seats on the City of Columbia City Council and the Richland County Council, and played a vital role in working toward the creation of the state's first majority black congressional district; and

Whereas, Mrs. Adams has served as a delegate to three Democratic Party National Conventions; and

Whereas, she is an active member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church where she is a member of the choir and vestry; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the many accomplishments of this daughter of South Carolina by having an interchange along Interstate Highway 20 in Richland County named in her honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the interchange located at the intersection of Interstate Highway 20 and South Carolina Highway 555 in Richland County "Adell T. Adams Interchange" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this interchange that contain the words "Adell T. Adams Interchange".

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