After receiving several text messages about the JSU Sonic Boom of the South's performance at the Mississippi State Capitol among confederate flag proponents, I had to think about the situation as a black man first and an educator second. I applaud JSU for handling the situation with dignity and class. All rivalries aside, HBCUs have a mission and purpose in 2015 more than ever so before. It is up to us to combat ignorance with education. To JSU's band staff and students, you are a great example of how to persevere through adversity! God bless you!
Few may not agree, but this is something bigger than a rivalry. This is respect.
