A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE SECTION OF PENDERBORO ROAD (SC 34-39) FROM THE INTERSECTION OF 501 BYPASS TO THE INTERSECTION OF WELLWOOD ROAD IN MARION, SOUTH CAROLINA "REVEREND DR. A.C. ROBINSON HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS SECTION OF ROAD CONTAINING THE DESIGNATION.

Whereas, Reverend Dr. Robinson was born in Hyman, South Carolina to the late Nathaniel and Leila Robinson. He graduated from Gibbs High School, Friendship Junior College with an Associate of Arts degree, Allen University with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies, Francis Marion College with a Master in Education, Morris College with a Bachelor of Divinity and an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity, and Cathedral Bible College with a Doctorate of Christian Education. He has completed other studies at the University of South Carolina and Appalachian State University; and

Whereas, Reverend Dr. Robinson is a veteran of the United States military and was honorably discharged in 1970. Following his service, he faithfully ministered at Piney Grove Baptist Church in Patrick, Round-O Baptist Church in Darlington, St. John Baptist Church in Latta, and Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Marion, where he has served for over forty years; and

Whereas, under his humble leadership, Pleasant Grove has built two new sanctuaries, started forty new ministries, and doubled its membership. Reverend Dr. Robinson started the A.C. Robinson Family Resource Center and the Pleasant Grove Academy; and

Whereas, a community leader, he helped secure grants both for a housing project for the elderly and mildly impaired and for the Little Pee Dee Baptist Association for water and sewage services for the Little Pee Dee Manor. He also founded the Youth Department of the Chesterfield County Union; and

Whereas, Reverend Dr. Robinson shares his time with organizations such as the National Baptist Convention, Cathedral Bible College, the South Carolina State Baptist Church Missionary & Educational Convention, the Pee Dee Regional Council, the Little Pee Dee Manor, Inc., United Way of Marion County, Habitat for Humanity of Marion County, and many more. He is the recipient of over five hundred awards and honors; and

Whereas, Reverend Dr. Robinson has preached in many states, conducting as many as thirty-five revivals in one year. He has preached at the National Baptist Convention USA and has traveled extensively in most of the United States and in many foreign countries, including the Holy Land; and

Whereas, Reverend Dr. Robinson has three children, three grandchildren, and one great grandchild; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to pay tribute to the devout service of this distinguished son of South Carolina by naming a section of road in Marion, South Carolina in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the section of Penderboro Road (SC 34-39) from the intersection of 501 bypass to the intersection of Wellwood Road in Marion, South Carolina "Reverend Dr. A.C. Robinson Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs at this section of road containing the designation.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Reverend Dr. A.C. Robinson and the Department of Transportation.
