Thank you to everyone who has reached out with support during these past few days. Your kindness has meant so much to my family and me.
This week, we’re honoring my father’s 72nd birthday by keeping his legacy going through his passion for journalism.
In his memory, our family has started the Larry Fitzgerald Scholarship Fund with the National Association of Black Journalists to support the next generation of journalists.
