The bill H. 3938 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly to honor Dr. Melvin Leroy Howard by naming a section of South Charleston Road in Darlington County as the "Dr. Melvin Leroy Howard Memorial Highway." The designated area stretches from the intersection of Piano Road to the Darlington/Florence County line. The resolution requests the Department of Transportation to erect appropriate signs or markers at this location to commemorate Dr. Howard's contributions and legacy.

Dr. Melvin Leroy Howard was a distinguished military veteran and a prominent figure in law enforcement, having served in the U.S. Army and the South Carolina Highway Patrol, where he achieved significant milestones, including being the first African American to reach the rank of lieutenant colonel. The resolution highlights his dedication to education, mentorship, and community service, making it fitting to memorialize his life and achievements with this highway designation. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to the Department of Transportation for implementation.
