Whereas, after Bishop Fuller's death in 1958, his son, Bishop William Edward Fuller, Jr., has carried on his father's legacy by overseeing the addition of ten and one-half acres to the Institute's campus and construction of four additional buildings; and
Whereas, the Fuller Normal and Industrial Institute has hosted numerous national and international religious conventions and meetings; and
Whereas, it is filling and proper that South Carolina 81 from the city limit of Greenville to the point one mile south of the city limit in Greenville County be designated and named the "Bishop William Edward Fuller, Sr., Highway" as a lasting tribute to this distinguished South Carolinian. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

Whereas, his heroism and compassion was recognized by the Greenville County Council in a resolution issued on October 17, 1989; and
