SUMMARY: The upcoming football game between Macomb High School and South Pike is a major rivalry, but this year it will be closed to the public due to safety concerns following recent incidents. The game, scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. at South Pike’s field, has prompted increased security measures, including additional personnel on campuses and heightened monitoring of student access. Both districts stress the importance of student safety and conflict resolution. While the event will limit revenue, it will be live-streamed for fans. Officials hope this year’s situation serves as a lesson for future events.

Due to safety concerns a rivalry football game will now be held with no spectators.

SUMMARY: Author Nadia Solomon held a book signing event in Jackson this evening at the Two Mississippi Museums for her new book, “A Voice of Hope: The Merly Evers Williams Story.” This book is the first picture book biography of civil rights activist Merly Evers Williams. Solomon’s idea for the book originated in 2005 during a press conference where she noted the personal photos Williams had brought. After inquiring about them, Solomon engaged in a meaningful conversation about Williams’ life and passion. Nearly 19 years later, this book celebrates their connection and can be purchased at the museums.
