Black History Month: Chickasaw County native redefining the cowboy image in Hollywood
SUMMARY: WDVA celebrates Black History Month by highlighting Tim Cook, a Chickasaw County native redefining the cowboy image in Hollywood. A Rodeo Champion and skilled stuntman, Cook recalls his early love for rodeo, which led him to impressive stunts in major films, including “The Harder They Fall.” As he showcases the talents of black cowboys, he emphasizes their significant but often overlooked contributions to the American West, where an estimated one in four cowboys were black in the 1800s. Cook sees his work as a way to honor this history and inspire the next generation of black rodeo performers.
Tim Cook is a former bareback and bull rider from Houston, Mississippi. He talked to WTVA’s Michelle Martin about bringing his life as a cowboy to the big screen.
SUMMARY: A significant software glitch is disrupting Mississippi’s driver license bureaus, with operations expected to resume by the week’s end. The Department of Public Safety revealed that a routine update from a third-party vendor caused the issues, resulting in 2 to 3-hour wait times at various offices. Currently, only limited services, such as gun permits and ID cards, are being offered. Commissioner Tindle addressed accountability and future contracts with the vendor to prevent recurrence. He urged the public to remain patient as staff work diligently to resolve the chaos caused by the tech failure.
Mississippi DMVs could return to normal by the end of the week.
SUMMARY: Residents of the Georgetown community in Jackson are frustrated with the ongoing closure of a bridge on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, which has been shut for years.

Reverend Williams emphasizes the urgency of the situation, calling for immediate repairs. Efforts to get a response from the city have been unsuccessful.
