The bill, S. 320, is a Senate resolution introduced to honor the courageous Black hospital workers who organized and executed the 1969 nurses' aides strike at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). This strike is recognized as a significant labor and civil rights struggle, initiated when a white head nurse denied Black workers access to patients' charts, leading to their refusal to work and subsequent firings. The resolution highlights the efforts of Mary Moultrie and other activists who fought for better working conditions and rights for Black hospital workers, who were subjected to discriminatory practices and lower wages compared to their white counterparts.

The resolution also acknowledges the broader impact of the strike, which mobilized a large community protest and lasted for 113 days, emphasizing the bravery of the participants in their fight for change. Additionally, it pays tribute to influential figures such as Coretta Scott King and Maude E. Callen, recognizing their contributions to the advancement of Black individuals in the healthcare profession. The South Carolina Senate aims to formally remember and honor these workers through this resolution.
