The bill H. 4962 is a concurrent resolution that seeks to approve the proposed design and location for the Robert Smalls Monument, as mandated by Act 183 of 2024. The resolution notes that the Robert Smalls Monument Commission has submitted a design and location to the State House Committee, which has already granted its approval. The selected sculptor for the monument is Mr. Basil Watson from Lawrenceville, Georgia, and the design will include biographical information about Robert Smalls along with a quote from him. The proposed site for the monument is situated in the northeast quadrant of the State House grounds, positioned between the Spanish-American War Veterans Monument and the African American History Monument.

Additionally, the resolution reaffirms that the Robert Smalls Monument Commission is responsible for raising private funds and obtaining gifts and grants to facilitate the design, location, and erection of the monument, as outlined in Act 183 of 2024. This legislative action underscores the commitment of the South Carolina General Assembly to honor Robert Smalls and ensure the successful establishment of the monument.
