Whereas, since its inception, the Commission has consistently fulfilled a positive leadership role in the progress of this State, successfully addressing sensitive and often potentially polarizing issues in a manner which has benefited all South Carolinians; and

Whereas, the dedication, accomplishments, and service of Commission employees have earned for it a well-deserved reputation as one of the best such agencies of its kind in the nation; and

Whereas, this extraordinary record was built by people whose distinguished service with and to the Commission brought great credit to the agency; and

Whereas, this year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission and fifty years of exceptional service to the State of South Carolina; and

Whereas, Governor Henry McMaster has, by proclamation, declared June 19 - 25, 2022, "Human Affairs Week" in the State of South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, recognize "Human Affairs Week" as June 19 - 22, 2022, congratulate the South Carolina Human Affairs Commission upon the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary, and commend the Commission for its many years of dedicated service to the people and the State of South Carolina.
