A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NAME THE PORTION OF ATLAS ROAD IN RICHLAND COUNTY FROM ITS INTERSECTION WITH BLUFF ROAD TO ITS INTERSECTION WITH GARNERS FERRY ROAD “BISHOP A.C. JACKSON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY” AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS ALONG THIS ROAD THAT CONTAIN THE WORDS “BISHOP A.C. JACKSON MEMORIAL HIGHWAY”.

Amend Title To Conform

Whereas, Bishop Andrew Charles Jackson, the son of Andrew and Charlotte Green Jackson, died Wednesday, September 27, 2006, in his home town of Columbia; and

Whereas, his death came more than forty years after his founding of Bible Way Church of Arthurtown, now Bible Way Church of Atlas Road, and nine thousand members later; and

Whereas, the original “Little Red Church” with its thirteen adult members symbolized the humble beginnings of this hugely vibrant church and the self-taught man who envisioned its glorious place in the spiritual lives of the people of Richland County; and

Whereas, that vision grew into a multifaceted ministry, reaching out to and embracing young people, senior citizens, the poor, and the needy; and

Whereas, although Bishop Jackson turned over the pulpit of Bible Way Church of Atlas Road to his son, our friend, Senator Darrell Jackson, a number of years prior to his death, following a stroke,

his booming voice has been ever present in the minds and hearts of the congregation he taught and loved; and

Whereas, it is fitting and proper for the members of the General Assembly to recognize this great man of God by having a portion of Atlas Road in Richland County named in his honor. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of Atlas Road in Richland County from its intersection with Bluff Road to its intersection with Garners Ferry Road “Andrew C. Jackson Memorial Highway” and erect appropriate markers or signs along this road that contain the words “Andrew C. Jackson Memorial Highway”.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
