Mom Dukes is the MVP
Welcome to The Side Jawn, the place where we talk about sports, culture and life. I am your host Dennis Holmes along side of my co-host Sharon the Chocolate Girrrrrrrrrrrrrrl! Say it right Dennis!
Sharon says good morning, says a bit and asks how Dennis is doing/back to Dennis.
Dennis:
Thank you for joining us this morning. Got a great show for you today. But first we've got some headlines we're gonna touch on.
What's going on Sharon
Well, back on 5/02/63 more than 700 Black children peacefully protested racial segregation in Birmingham, Alabama, as part of the Children's Crusade launched by MLK Jr and SCLC, beginning a movement that sparked widely-publicized police brutality that shocked the nation and spurred major civil rights advances.Though hundreds were assaulted, arrested, and transported to jail in school buses and paddy wagons, the children refused to relent their peaceful demonstration.The next day the policy commish Bull Connor ordered officers to spray them with fire hoses, hit them with batons and turn policy dogs on them. The US Department of Justice got involved. Finally by 5/10/22, Birmingham was desegregated. But the school districk announced the kids would be suspended or expelled. It took federal court to reverse that.
Well 5/4 this week marked the 57th anniversary of Willie Mays breaking the home run record with his 512th home run. He was playing for the San Francisco Giants at the time (boo). One of the greatest to ever do it, Willie Mays.
Here recently did you hear about JJ Reddick shutting down Mad Dog on First Take? Beautiful. Sent the clown back to the circus.

We're going to do a tribute to moms.
Talk about our moms. Something wonderful about them, something unusual about them, what kind of personality, are they famous for something. Talk about something you wondered about your mom when you were little and it makes sense now that you're an adult.
