A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REMEMBER THE LIFE OF MRS. ELIZABETH ALSTON FOR HER SUPPORT IN IDENTIFYING AND PRESERVING THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THIS GREAT STATE.

Whereas, those who give their lives to the betterment of their community deserve to be remembered for their contributions toward making South Carolina a better place to live; and

Whereas, Mrs. Elizabeth Alston, who devoted her life to uplifting and enlightening others, was just such a person; and

Whereas, this native of Charleston served the Palmetto State as an educator, school board member, and historian for Mother Emanuel AME Church. Further, she served as chair of the Charleston County Board of Education; and

Whereas, seeing her diligence, in March 1993 Governor Carroll Campbell appointed Mrs. Alston to the South Carolina African American Heritage Council, now known as the South Carolina African American Heritage Commission. She served the council as its first chair. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, remember the life of Mrs. Elizabeth Alston for her support in identifying and preserving the contributions of African Americans in this great State.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Mrs. Elizabeth Alston.
