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: The body of missing Belhaven man Dau Mabil was found in the Pearl River in Lawrence County. The autopsy did not show any signs of foul play, but further testing is pending for an official determination. Mabil was last seen in Jackson in March 2024. Attorney Lisa Ross has obtained an order to prevent the burial or cremation of Mabil's remains until an autopsy can be conducted. U.S. Representative Bennie Thompson has requested the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate Mabil's disappearance. Thompson aims to support a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Mabil's disappearance.

SUMMARY: Beth Ann White appeared in court for her involvement in a crash that killed a mother and her six-month-old son in Hinds County. The mother's other two daughters sustained life-threatening injuries. White's trial is set for April 29 after a mistrial was declared in 2023 due to a lack of consensus on a verdict. The state alleges White had a blood alcohol content level of .273%, well above the legal limit of .08%. White has been indicted on four counts of aggravated DUI and has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The defense has raised questions about the circumstances of the crash.
