Mississippi University for Women name change might fall through amid backlash
SUMMARY: The Mississippi University for Women is considering a name change, but the proposed name, Mississippi Brightwell University, faced backlash on social media. President Nora Miller is reviewing feedback and reiterates the commitment to a name that aligns with the university’s mission and diverse community. Alumni and faculty oppose using directional or historic names, believing they don’t reflect the university’s uniqueness. Suggestions like the University of Northern Mississippi, Callaway State University, and Welty University were rejected due to naming guidelines. Lawmakers indicate that a more universally accepted name would likely pass legislative approval, and any changes need to be decided before May 5 to implement by the 2024-25 academic year.

SUMMARY: Ben Crump, attorney for the family of Demartravion “Trey” Reed, announced that Colin Kaepernick’s Know Your Rights Camp Autopsy Initiative will fund an independent autopsy after Reed, 21, was found dead by hanging on Delta State University’s campus. Though a state autopsy ruled Reed’s death a suicide and no foul play was suspected, the family received conflicting information and sought a second autopsy. The initiative expedites autopsies in suspicious deaths free of charge. Investigations have been handed to the FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office, following a request from Rep. Bennie Thompson. Kaepernick, a former NFL player and activist, supports the family’s search for truth.

SUMMARY: President Donald Trump called slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk a “great American hero” and “martyr” for freedom at a memorial in Glendale, Arizona, attended by tens of thousands including Vice President JD Vance. Kirk, founder of Turning Point and a key figure in mobilizing young Christian conservatives, was fatally shot at a Utah college on September 10. Speakers emphasized faith, family values, and doubling down on conservative goals to honor Kirk’s legacy. Kirk’s widow forgave the suspect. The shooting sparked a fierce debate on political violence, free speech, and has led to backlash against critics of Kirk within the Trump administration’s sphere.

SUMMARY: Mississippi’s only major-league affiliated team, the Biloxi Shuckers, was eliminated from the 2025 Southern League playoffs after a 4-2 loss to the Montgomery Biscuits in game two of the Division Series. This marks the second consecutive year Montgomery has ousted Biloxi. The Shuckers finished the season 74-64, winning the South Division first-half title. Manager Joe Ayrault, who battled and beat stage 3 colon cancer during the season, praised the team’s effort. Despite an early lead from Jesus Made’s homer and Blake Burke’s RBI single, Montgomery rallied in the eighth inning to win. Biloxi’s next season starts April 3, 2026.
