MUW unveils historical marker honoring The Fabulous Six
SUMMARY: In 1966, six young black women applied to enroll at the all-white Mississippi State College for Women. Despite facing resistance and harsh words, they persevered and became the first black students to attend the university. Laverne Green-Leech, one of the students, recalls her overwhelming first day on campus. Now, 57 years later, the university is honoring these women by placing a marker in their honor in Pioneers Plaza. The marker resulted from a collaboration between the university and the Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science. Additionally, an exhibition called “In Their Footsteps” is being displayed at MUW to tell the story of the first black students at the university.

SUMMARY: Firefighters at Fire Station 2 in Starkville, Mississippi, have created a DIY training room in an underused storage space to improve their search and rescue skills. The space is set up with realistic obstacles and scenarios to help them prepare for different situations. The goal is to eventually build a larger-scale facility for more comprehensive training. The firefighters believe that continuous training is essential to ensure citizen safety and respond effectively in emergencies. By practicing in a realistic environment, they can improve their response time and better serve the community.
