Mississippi Stories: Lloyd Gray
2021-06-01 12:35:53, 1622568953
On this episode of Mississippi Stories, Mississippi Today Editor-At-Large Marshall Ramsey sits down and has a conversation with Lloyd Gray, Executive Director of the Phil Hardin Foundation and former long-time editor of the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal. Gray tells a little about his family (he is the son of legendary Episcopal Bishop Duncan Gray, Jr.) and how he fell in love with journalism. He also talks about how he made the transition into working for a foundation. The Phil Hardin Foundation, founded in 1964 by Phil Hardin, philanthropist and the owner of Hardin Bakeries Corporation, focuses on improving the lives of Mississippians through better educational opportunities. Gray discusses how the foundation does that and how it has survived the turmoil caused in the past year by the pandemic. When Gray was a journalist, he was very interested in the concept of community and building communities. Today, he does just that through his work with the Phil Hardin Foundation in Meridian and all across Mississippi.

SUMMARY: In the retrial of Beth Ann White, the state called witnesses who testified that she caused a crash that killed a mother and her six-month-old son, and left her two other children with life-threatening injuries. Dr. Shiflett, a pediatric neurosurgeon, testified that he treated the surviving children for severe brain and spinal injuries. The state argues that White was driving under the influence at the time of the crash, with a blood alcohol content three times the legal limit. White has been indicted on multiple counts of DUI, including a felony charge for a fourth offense. Her first trial ended in a hung jury.
