Whereas, Reverend Canty was called to the ministry in 1963 and has faithfully pastored Savannah Grove Baptist Church in Florence County since 1968; and
Whereas, he is a member of the Sumter School District Board of Trustees, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, the NAACP, and the Goodfellows Social Club; and
Whereas, Reverend Canty is a past president and Interim General Secretary of the Progressive National Baptist Convention; and
Whereas, he is a former member of the South Carolina House of Representatives and the South Carolina Legislative Black Caucus; and
Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to recognize the many accomplishments of this son of South Carolina by naming a portion of highway in Florence County in his honor. Now, therefore,
