The bill, S. 969, is a Senate resolution recognizing and honoring Martha Bray Carson for her significant contribution to South Carolina's state flag by writing the pledge in 1950. The resolution highlights her civic leadership roles, including her service with the Daughters of the American Revolution and the United Daughters of the Confederacy, as well as her numerous recognitions throughout her life. It notes that Carson passed away in 1953, before her pledge was officially adopted by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1966.

Additionally, the resolution includes a specific directive that while reciting the pledge to the South Carolina state flag, individuals should place their ungloved right hand over their heart. The Senate expresses its appreciation for Carson's dedication to the people of South Carolina and resolves to honor her legacy by presenting a copy of the resolution to her cousin, Julie N. Hardaway.
