S. Printed 4/7/11--S.    [SEC 4/8/11 4:02 PM]

THE COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3253) to request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of United States Highway 301 in Orangeburg County from its intersection with Interstate Highway 26 to its intersection, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

That they have duly and carefully considered the same and recommend that the same do pass:

LAWRENCE K. GROOMS for Committee.

            

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF UNITED STATES HIGHWAY 301 IN ORANGEBURG COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH INTERSTATE HIGHWAY 26 TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH HOMESTEAD ROAD "DR. THOMAS L. MOSS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "DR. THOMAS L. MOSS MEMORIAL HIGHWAY".

Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly takes great pride in recognizing those South Carolinians who give tirelessly of themselves in furtherance of their individual communities and this great State; and

Whereas, the late Dr. Thomas Moss was certainly one such individual, as his life stands as a testament to all the good that comes from the hard work, integrity, and diligence of one man; and

Whereas, Dr. Moss was the son of the late Willie and Rosana Moss and was a native of the Four Holes Community. There, he attended Orangeburg County public schools and later attended Morris College in Sumter, South Carolina, before he was drafted into the United States Army to serve in the Korean War; and

Whereas, the loving husband of Gladys Moss, a retired educator, Dr. Moss was the proud father of two children, Thomasina and Andre; and

Whereas, Dr. Moss served the citizens of this State for a number of years as field representative for the South Carolina Office of U.S. Senior Senator, the late Strom Thurmond; and

Whereas, dedicating his life to education and civil rights advancement, Dr. Moss received countless honors for his commitment to social causes in South Carolina. He received the Freedom Fighter Award from the Orangeburg branch of the NAACP, the United States Senate Loyal Service Award, and the Order of Palmetto Award, among many others; and

Whereas, Dr. Moss helped to meet the needs of the people through community, state, and national involvement, including an affiliation with the Orangeburg/Bowman branch of the NAACP, the Orangeburg Bi-Racial Committee, the Orangeburg-Calhoun Counties Area Committee for Economic Progress, and the Advisory Committee of the U.S. Civil Rights Commission; and

Whereas, Dr. Moss' legacy will live on in years to come through the Thomas Moss Civic Leadership Award established in his name; and

Whereas, a dedicated member of the Andrew Chapel Baptist Church in Orangeburg County, Dr. Moss served as Chairman of the Deacon's Ministry; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to forever celebrate the legacy of this outstanding son of South Carolina by having a portion of United States Highway 301 in Orangeburg County named in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of United States Highway 301 in Orangeburg County from its intersection with Interstate Highway 26 to its intersection with Homestead Road "Dr. Thomas L. Moss Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this highway that contain the words "Dr. Thomas L. Moss Memorial Highway".

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