I reached my 3 scores and 10 on 3-30-20. I thank God for saving, nurturing and protecting a wretch like me for all those years.
I had the pleasure of marching with Dr. King as a 16 year old in the summer of ‘66 as the march proceeded South down State Highway 51. After a stop for lunch at an African American owned restaurant in Coldwater, Mississippi, where I also dined, I left the group at a mile South of Senatobia. I was highly impressed, but particularly struck by his smooth, calm, measured responses to a reporter’s questions relative to the intersection of race and sports and how King could reconcile Stokley Carmical’s, a perceived black militant, in a “peaceful” march.
May the new year bring sustained happiness and good fortune to all.
Congratulations and best wishes to another African American Rhodes Scholar from our are—Tunica’s Arielle Hudson’s at Ole MS. Coldwater’s Damon Moore
became the university’s first African American Rhodes Scholar in ‘86.
