The Celebration of Life of our amazing & universally beloved Mom, Carolyn Mabee Wheeler, on 6-7-23 in Chattanooga. Teresa & I are so thankful to all who have lifted our Mom & lifted & prayed for us. Mom’s service, like her & her life, was a gift from God. https://t.co/8tDQBm1bRh

Sixty-three years ago today, Medgar Evers returned home to his family only to be met with an assassin's bullet before he could even reach his front door.

The 37-year old father of three, husband, and NAACP leader's life and voice were stolen from us in a senseless act of racial violence.

Today, we honor his courage, his sacrifice, and his unwavering dedication to the fight for justice, equity, and voting rights.

His legacy lives on in each of us. May the movement continue to move forward in his memory.

Today the McCallie community joins the world in mourning the passing of Ted Turner, class of 1956.

A visionary leader. A generous philanthropist. A global pioneer. From his formative years on the Ridge to his transformative impact on the world, Ted embodied the bold spirit of McCallie. We are proud to call him one of our own.

His legacy lives on in every student who dares to dream big.

50 years ago today my cultural hero Rod Serling passed away. A World War II veteran & game changer in the New Frontier of Television with the timeless messages delivered on the human condition & American soul via his creation, ‘The Twilight Zone’. His artistry & genius lives on.

A hand-painted mural was found: “Its motifs showcase the pride Yorktown’s sailors had for their ship, the global scale of Yorktown activities, and the strategic role that the ship played in defending the United States.” #GreatestGeneration #USNavy #Midway https://t.co/1VURp16faR

Happy Mother’s Day!

Paul McCartney wrote "Let It Be" for his mother Mary, who had passed away 10 years earlier. She came to him in a dream and told him to ‘let it be’

@JamesTate121 Lower case “catholic” means universal and does not refer to any individual denomination or branch of Christianity. My father taught me that when I was eight years old.
