_______

A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO REQUEST THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF 
TRANSPORTATION NAME the portion of South Carolina highway 3 in Estill from US 
321 to Orangeburg Road IN Hampton COUNTY "The Honorable Anderson Taylor 
Highway" AND ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THIS LOCATION CONTAINING THE 
DESIGNATION.

Whereas, a 
native of Eastover, Anderson Taylor was born on June 5, 1944, to the late 
Deacon Wilbert Taylor Sr. and the late Rosa Lee Howard Taylor. He grew up in a 
modest home with humble beginnings. The children were taught to believe in and 
love God and to love family; and

Whereas, the 
Taylor family practiced "I am my Brother's Keeper." These family values were 
instilled in Anderson, and he exemplified them throughout his life. Helping 
others during their time of need was more important than creating wealth for 
himself. Anderson loved his family. He was his brother's keeper, an 
overachiever, a historian, a hard worker, and he loved the Lord; and

Whereas, Anderson 
grew up in Eastover and attended Antioch Elementary School, Crossroads Middle 
School, and graduated from Webber High School. He was the valedictorian for 
both middle and high schools. Anderson was the first Taylor to attend college. 
He matriculated at Benedict College, where he received a bachelor's degree in 
history; and

Whereas, Anderson 
moved to Estill in 1967, after graduating from Benedict College. He became a 
social studies and English teacher at Estill Training School. Although he 
relocated to Estill, Anderson came home at least every other weekend to visit 
his mother and other family members because family meant everything to him; and

Whereas, after 
teaching for a few years, and after integration, he was selected to be the 
assistant principal at Estill High School in 1977. In 1979, he became the first 
African American to become the principal of the school. He retired in 1999 as 
the longest serving principal at Estill High School. Before his tenure, a 
principal only lasted four years, whereas Anderson's tenure lasted for twenty 
years; and

Whereas, while working 
in Estill, Anderson attended South Carolina State University, where he obtained 
his master's degree in professional education and minored in social studies. He 
graduated from Clemson University's Strom Thurmond Institute of Governments and 
the Clemson Advanced Municipal Institute for Public and Safety Research. He 
also studied at the University of South Carolina, Morris College, and Key 
Biscayne College; and

Whereas, a civic 
leader, Anderson served his community in many ways, including serving as mayor and 
mayor pro tempore for the town of Estill. He also served as grand marshal for 
the Dr. Martin Luther King Parade in Estill, president of the Hampton County 
Education Association, and he served on the board of directors for the Palmetto 
Development Center; and

Whereas, during 
Anderson's tenure in Estill's Municipal Government, he was instrumental in 
improving the town's infrastructure, constructing a park with a walking trail, 
building the new Estill High School, renovating many older homes, and 
constructing a new library, among many other valuable contributions to his 
community; and

Whereas, over 
the years, Anderson received many awards and honors, including the prestigious Lifetime 
Achievement Award from the Arnold Fields Community Endowment Foundation and an Honorary 
FFA State Degree from Clemson University; and

Whereas, a 
devout Christian, Anderson was a member of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church 
in Gifford, where he sang in the choir and served on the board of trustees. In 
his free time, he enjoyed fishing, gardening, traveling, and helping others. He 
passed away on December 29, 2023. He will be greatly missed; and

Whereas, it 
would be only fitting and proper to pay tribute to this son of South Carolina 
by naming a portion of road in the State in his honor. Now, therefore,

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

That the members 
of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution,
