Gathering for “One Night in March” documentary and panel discussion
SUMMARY: The documentary “One Night in March” tells the story of a historic basketball game between all-white Mississippi State University and integrated Loyola University during the Civil Rights Movement. Despite not being allowed to compete in the NCAA championship due to an unwritten rule, MSU defied the state legislature to play against integrated teams. The film includes interviews, rare footage, and archival photos. After a viewing at the Starkville Public Library, a panel discussion was held with the documentary producer and members of the 1963 ball club. The event celebrated the courage and defiance shown by MSU during a pivotal moment in history.

SUMMARY: Two men, Frankie Williams and Michael Morrison, have been arrested for allegedly breaking into a home in Lee County, Mississippi, on September 21.

During the break-in, the suspects stole several debit and credit cards and electronic devices, which they used at various businesses in the area.
