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 and a native of 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 operated by the South Carolina Electric and Gas Company. Despite being verbally abused by the bus driver and ultimately forced off the bus, Flemming took legal action against the 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 set a precedent for future legal challenges against segregation.

The resolution acknowledges Flemming's impact on civil rights law, particularly in relation to the landmark case Browder v. Gayle, which ended the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It also reflects on her legacy, noting that her actions inspired other civil rights leaders, including Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. The resolution concludes with a commitment from the South Carolina House of Representatives to honor her memory and achievements by presenting a copy of the resolution to her family.
