Shaq: "If you have a person you haven't talked to. Make sure you reach out. My sister passed away and I forgot to tell her I love her. Kobe passed away and I forgot to tell him I love him. And now my daddy Dale is gone and I forgot to tell him I love him"

A Vet Day and Mississippi’s first Black Senator story.

My Uncle Frances was a 1st Lt. who was shot multiple times fighting in France. Never fully recovered. Came back to Mississippi and became a civil rights lawyer.

He later taught at Antioch Law School where he had @scott_colom mom and dad as students. They met at Antioch.

I was talking to Scott’s dad the other day and he was saying how much my Uncle Francis would have loved this moment.

The Colom family story is America at its best. Scott’s grandmother was a civil rights worker in Ripley, Ms. his dad co-founded the Innocence Project with John Grisham. His mom is the first Black female Chancery court judge in Ms.

And now Scott is a US Senator.

Congratulations @scott_colom. The people of Mississippi have realized their power and there's no going back. Scott, welcome to the fight. Let's get to work.

At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.

One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.

She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.

The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.

He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.

His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.

He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.

Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.

In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.

It was her.

She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”

Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.

On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.

Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.

In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.

10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.

A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”

It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.

He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.

She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.

What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?

We may have had to count One Mississippi, Two Mississippi, but Blue Mississippi sure has a nice ring to it! Scott, you put your heart and soul into this race because you believe in the promise of your state’s people. And they believed in you right back. I’m honored to have stood alongside you. Congratulations!

One of the most distinctive voices in music.

Paul makes this classic sound every bit as good as the original.

A timeless song that never gets old.
