A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF TV ROAD IN FLORENCE COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH ASHBY ROAD TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH WILSON ROAD "DR. WILLIAM P. DIGGS ROAD" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS PORTION OF HIGHWAY THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS "DR. WILLIAM P. DIGGS ROAD".

Whereas, Dr. William P. Diggs was born in the City of Columbia and reared in the City of Rock Hill; and

Whereas, he is married to the former Clotilda Daniels and is the father of two children and has one grandson; and

Whereas, Dr. Diggs earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Morehouse College, a Masters of Arts degree from Atlanta University, a Masters of Divinity degree from Colgate Rochester Divinity School, and his Doctor of Ministry degree from McCormick Theological Seminary; and

Whereas, he has received numerous honorary doctorate degrees from various colleges and universities during his lifetime; and

Whereas, since 1962, he has served as pastor of Trinity Baptist Church in Florence where he has faithfully preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ before his congregation, and throughout this nation; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper to recognize the great achievements of this son of South Carolina by having a portion of TV Road in Florence 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 request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of TV Road in Florence County from its intersection with Ashby Road to its intersection with Wilson Road "Dr. William P. Diggs Road" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words "Dr. William P. Diggs Road".

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