The resolution proposes to honor Fred Armstead, Sr. by naming the bridge on United States Highway 43, which spans the B.N. Railroad between Sports Plex Road and Bell Grayson Road in Demopolis, Marengo County, as the Fred Armstead, Sr. Memorial Bridge. Fred Armstead was a distinguished public servant, recognized for being the first Black police officer in Demopolis and the first Black Marengo County Commissioner for District 1, serving for 36 years. His extensive contributions to the community included over 30 years on the Alabama Tombigbee Regional Commission Executive Committee and involvement with various boards, reflecting his commitment to the Alabama Black Belt and public well-being.

The resolution encourages the Alabama Department of Transportation to work with local officials to implement this designation and to install appropriate signage to commemorate Fred Armstead's legacy. This initiative aims to honor his significant impact on the community and ensure that his contributions are remembered by future generations.
