Airport takeover fight continues
SUMMARY: The 5th Circuit ruled that the Jackson Airport Commission cannot challenge the state's decision to replace the board because the members who filed the lawsuit are no longer in office. This decision highlights the ongoing power struggle between Jackson and the state government, with accusations of racial tensions at play. Senator Josh Harkins, who authored the bill to replace the board, believes it's time to move on due to the airport's continued issues attracting business development. Despite efforts to work together, the legal battle over control of the airport persists. The 5th Circuit has sent the case back to district court for further proceedings.

Friends remember playing at Grove Park for Coach Cheatham
SUMMARY: Grove Park has served as a vital safe haven for Black children in Jackson for over 50 years, especially through its Little League Baseball fields.
