The bill H. 4322 is a concurrent resolution introduced in the South Carolina General Assembly, which requests the South Carolina Department of Transportation to name a specific bridge in Richland County as the "Solomon-Gibbons Memorial Bridge." This bridge is located on the portion of Interstate Highway 26/United States Highway 76 that crosses Interstate Highway 20. The resolution aims to honor the contributions of Mr. Walker E. Solomon Sr. and Dr. Carlos W. Gibbons, who were significant figures in education and civil rights during the 1960s. Their efforts in merging two major teacher organizations into The South Carolina Education Association are highlighted as a pivotal moment in the state's history, promoting unity and integration.
The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing Solomon and Gibbons for their public service and advocacy for civil rights and education. It calls for the erection of appropriate markers or signs at the bridge to commemorate their legacy. Additionally, the resolution stipulates that copies of the resolution be presented to the South Carolina Education Association and forwarded to the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
