BULLETIN
A civil rights legend has passed away—Rev. Ed King, a veteran activist who helped establish the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, died recently, leaving behind a significant legacy in the state's civil rights history. Meanwhile, police are investigating a shooting near Eminence Row and Newman Avenue as the area experiences typical summer weather with highs near 90°F and a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. On a lighter note, the community celebrated America's 250th birthday over the weekend with Stars, Stripes and Symphony, and a new Steamer's Shrimp and Crab Market location opened in Jackson.
