The bill, H. 3992, is a House Resolution that honors the life and achievements of Sarah Mae Flemming Brown, a significant figure in the civil rights movement from Eastover, South Carolina. The resolution recounts her courageous act on June 22, 1954, when she faced racial discrimination while attempting to sit on a bus. Despite being verbally abused by the bus driver and ultimately forced off the bus, Flemming took legal action against the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company, which led to a series of court cases that highlighted the issues of segregation in public transportation. Although she lost her case, her efforts contributed to the broader civil rights movement and served as a precedent for future legal battles against segregation.

The resolution acknowledges Flemming's impact on civil rights law and her role as a precursor to other notable activists, such as Rosa Parks. It emphasizes her legacy and the importance of her actions in the fight for justice and equality. The resolution concludes with a commitment to present a copy of the resolution to her family, ensuring that her contributions to civil rights are recognized and remembered.
