The bill, H. 3712, is a House Resolution expressing the profound sorrow of the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives upon the passing of Dr. Margaree S. Crosby, a notable Civil Rights leader from Greenville County. Dr. Crosby, who passed away at the age of eighty-two on November 8, 2024, was recognized for her significant contributions to the Civil Rights movement, particularly as one of the "Greenville 8" who participated in a sit-in protest that led to the desegregation of the Greenville County Public Library. She was also a distinguished educator, earning multiple degrees and serving as a full professor at Clemson University, where she became the first African American female professor of education.

The resolution not only honors Dr. Crosby's legacy and her commitment to social justice and education but also extends condolences to her family and friends. It highlights her community involvement, including her membership in various organizations and her role as the first woman board member of the Greenville Memorial Hospital System. The resolution concludes with a commitment to present a copy of the resolution to Dr. Crosby's family, ensuring that her contributions and legacy are remembered and celebrated.
