Dr. Roy Charles Bell Memorial Bridge; Fulton County; dedicate
This is a commemorative resolution (not a policy bill) honoring Dr. Roy Charles Bell, a pioneering African American dentist and civil rights leader who challenged segregation in Georgia's dental associations. It dedicates the bridge over Interstate 85/75 on Edgewood Avenue Southeast in Fulton County as the "Dr. Roy Charles Bell Memorial Bridge." The resolution directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to install and maintain signage naming the bridge, recognizing his legacy as a civil rights advocate and the first African American dentist in Atlanta. The bill does not create new laws or affect policy; it solely commemorates Dr. Bell's contributions through a physical landmark.
