@ColemanBaley @DavidDkelton @lcbaseball21 Welcome Home!!!

I am absolutely fired up for this next opportunity in joining Coach Kelton’s staff at LaGrange College in the pitching coach role. Being able to go back to where I played is such a blessing! #WFLFS #BelieveIt

@lcbaseball21 So happy that you were able to pull it together in spite of the many challenges you are facing!

What a special day in LaGrange. The Panthers 1st baseball alumni event was a success. We look forward to watching it grow each year. To our LC family, thank you. It was great to have you back and we look forward to the next event! We love y’all!

#Blackout Friday! Let our voices be heard across the nation!

@PlayersTribune @GamecockWBB @dawnstaley Yes you have!

Dawn Staley on the legacy she hopes to leave: “My mother grew up in South Carolina. This was the 1940s and early ’50s. Segregation was still legal. Separate bathrooms. All of it. She left the South at the age of 13, seeking equality and opportunity. I think about her a lot … I think about what she made possible for me and maybe what I’m supposed to make possible for others. She left South Carolina because of the racial divide. I came back with a hope to bridge it. I also know what me coaching here symbolizes in light of history. When I walk around different neighborhoods in this city, I’ll hear Black people say, “I had never been on that campus before coming to your game.” I understand that my success isn’t about championships — it’s about bringing together people who were once, and in some ways still are, divided. It’s bigger than basketball. If I never won another championship but my legacy was that — to have changed the face of opportunity and united communities — I’d take that over most other things in this world.” #BlackHistoryMonth playerstribu.ne/Staley

I think I will keep reposting this in my time line. These people were and are heroes.

Meet Solomon, Music Production major from Atlanta, GA. Why LC? "It was because of the great programs offered, specifically Music. LaGrange has everything I need to succeed while still feeling homey. I knew I wanted to attend college in a smaller environment, and LC was perfect!"

What a crazy story here. Birmingham Southern College folded YESTERDAY. Their baseball team is still playing in the D3 College World Series, and just walked it off to keep the team of a defunct college in the tournament

It’s after midnight @ChicagoMidway and a piece of my luggage cannot be found. No supervisor insight. I am not allowed to file a lost luggage report bc the system shows that it has arrived- but no one can locate it @SouthwestAir! Just a “call us tomorrow.” #horrible

@ErieNewsNow I am so proud of this young man!

On this day in 1865, Matthew A Henson became the first person to reach Geographic North Pole in 1909 along with Robert Peary. Matthew Henson was an African American explorer who was born in Charles County Maryland on August 8, 1866, At a young age, he was orphaned and lived with his aunt in Washington DC. However, he quit school in order to be a sailor. At the age of 12, he joined Captain Child's crew on the merchant ship Katie Hinds traveling around the world for six years. He became an expert at charting and navigating. At age of 20, Henson was discovered by an explorer named Robert E. Peary, who was impressed with the breadth of his geographical knowledge and experience. As a result, Peary invited Henson to join him for an expedition designed to investigate the feasibility of a canal linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans through Nicaragua. After that expedition, Henson and Peary undertook seven more expeditions with the goal of becoming the first to reach the North Pole, which was Peary's dream. Because of how difficult the mission was, they failed six times. Nevertheless, this didn't stop them from planning the seventh expedition. For it, Henson taught himself how to build sleds, how to master a team of dogs, and how to speak the Inuit language. Henson invested many hours of study to make the corresponding calculations. All of the hard work and planning paid off because, on April 6, 1909, Matthew Henson arrived at the North Pole and planted the American flag. He arrived 45 minutes ahead of Peary whose progress was a lot slower because he lost several toes to frostbite. Sadly, it wasn't until more than 30 years later in 1945 that Henson received the Navy Medal from Congress, and it wasn't until 1961 that a plaque was erected in his honor at the State House at Annapolis, Maryland. Henson died in the Bronx, New York City on March 9, 1955, at the age of 88. In 1988, his remains were moved to Arlington National Cemetery, where he was buried with full honors next to his friend, Robert Peary. 🖊️As the only admin behind this page, I try to research to educate.
