We enjoyed a beautiful program and reception today for the Reinterment Ceremony at Mt. Olive Cemetery. With heartfelt remarks from the speakers, moving musical performances by JSU students, and a joyful reception in COFO, today was a wonderful benchmark for the cemetery's enduring legacy.

Welcome to this week's #WalkerWeeklyWisdom #BlackBusinessMonth edition! Taylor’s Candy Co. is a long-standing, Black-owned Jackson business, currently located at 1519 Cox Street. Family-owned and offering a wide array of candy, sodas, confections, and snacks, the store is a fun place to shop local!

The background is peach and orange, with large font reading "Black Business Month Taylor's Candy Co.". Below, smaller font reads: 1519 Cox Street, Jackson, MS 39204 (601) 352-3462. Taylor’s Candy Co. is a long-standing Black-owned Jackson business, currently located at 1519 Cox Street. Though it found its home in 1967, the idea had long been in the works; co-owner to-be Walter Lee Taylor always had dreams of owning a business. His first chance to explore this was as a young boy selling grits in Madison County, MS." At bottom left there is a photo of a large sign on a metal post. The sign is white, red, and blue, and reads "Taylor's Candy Company & More est. 1967".

The background is light peach with black font reading "Taylor's Candy Co. He worked under his cousin, Harvey Taylor, who owned a distribution company founded sometime in the 1940s. Walter Lee settled on his idea to create Taylor’s Candy in 1960s with one truck and $200. In 1962, he married his wife and co-owner, Ozie Gross Taylor. The two retired school teachers (Rankin County and Jackson Public Schools respectively) operated the company out of their home until they were able to secure and build up the current location through a Small Business Administration loan in 1967. Since then, Taylor’s Candy Company has operated from West Jackson, serving a dedicated customer base with candies at affordable, wholesale prices. Approximately 5 years ago, the Price family took over the business. The couple, Pamela Price and Greg Price, operate Taylor’s Candy as a family business. On weekdays, you can meet Greg at the register, and on weekends you’ll likely meet Pamela. They have added to the store’s reach by stocking everyday items for their nearby consumer base, who often don’t have transportation to get their essentials. There is also the added struggle of Jackson, and particularly West Jackson, being a food desert. Walking into Taylor’s Candy Company, your eyes are certain to light up at the shelves full of iconic candies and snacks such as bags of Frooties, Banana Planks, hot pickles, Grandma’s cookies, and Faygos. Their selection perfectly encapsulates a bit of Mississippi childhood."

The background is off white with orange text reading "Let's Discuss How have you adapted to your changing environment? How do you continue to be true to yourself and your community? What’s your favorite candy?" Above, there is a photo of the store's interior, with bright blue walls and shelves filled with packages of candy and snacks.

Welcome to this week's #WalkerWeeklyWisdom #BlackBusinessMonth edition! Despite being called a record shop, OffBeat carries a lot more than just records! One step inside and you'll also see comic books, manga, figures, and artwork. Check out OffBeat's website: www.offbeatjxn.com?srsltid=AfmB...

The background is light peach with black font reading "OffBeat OffBeat has been a Black-owned business in Jackson since its opening in 2014; the store has now celebrated its 10th anniversary as a cultural pillar in the community. In its operation, OffBeat has acted as a one-stop cultural shop, a performance venue hosting local musicians and poets, an art gallery, and a general space in which to hang out and get to know the community. The idea for OffBeat came about because the owner and founder, Phillip Rollins, was invited to take part in the Mississippi Black Leadership Institute (MBLI); there he was tasked to end with a product that positively impacted the community, and out came OffBeat! Since then, OffBeat has continued to serve Jackson with a special care to Black arts and creativity. Now OffBeat even takes to the streets with the OffBeat Skate Crew, representing the still-vibrant subculture of skateboarding in our capital city and pushing us to be more active in ways that both improve our health and our sense of joy and community. OffBeat currently operates at 109 N State St, Jackson, MS 39201, though this is the second location of the shop, which was formerly in the Midtown neighborhood at 151 Wesley Avenue. The iconic OffBeat awning can still be seen at this location."

The background is off white with orange text reading "Let's Discuss How do you plan to bring the community together? How does pop culture impact you? What is your favorite purchase from OffBeat?" Above, there is a photo of the storefront windows, in front of which is a table draped in a black tablecloth with the words "My City" on it. Black and white t-shirts and hats are laid out on the table.

Welcome to our 1st #WalkerWeeklyWisdom #BlackBusinessMonth edition! This week we highlight the long-standing Marshall’s Bookstore, one of the oldest Black-owned bookstores in the United States. You can visit Marshall’s Bookstore at 618 N Farish St, Jackson, MS. Open 10-5 M-F and 10-2 on Saturdays.

The background is peach and orange, with large font reading "Black Business Month Marshall's Bookstore". Below, smaller font reads: 618 N Farish St, Jackson, MS 39202 (601)-355-5335. Marshall’s Bookstore is one of the oldest (if not the oldest) Black-owned bookstores in the United States. It was founded in 1938 by Louis Wilcher, who was the pastor of Greater Pearlie Grove Missionary Baptist Church, which is also still in operation. Even the location of Marshall’s is historic as it stands on Farish Street, one of many areas across the country where Black businesses thrived before integration took real roots." At bottom left there is a photo of the front of the bookstore, with large windows, a green awning, and a red brick facade.

The background is light peach with black font reading "Marshall's Bookstore Marshall’s is a worthwhile visit as a historic destination and as a bookstore, with a collection that is purposefully curated for the Black experience. The store exists partly as a bookstore and partly as a museum. The current owner, Maati Jone Primm, acts as a beacon of Black history. She champions the subject with a collection of personal history, videos, literature, music, and, of course, books that beautifully illustrate the vibrant African American history of this country. Even the walls are decorated with the faces of Black changemakers in and from Mississippi. As of today, Marshall’s Bookstore has been standing for 87 years. Its existence has been lovingly sustained by Primm’s family, including her mother, Louise Marshall, who is featured in the mural at the COFO Civil Rights Education Center. Marshall’s Bookstore represents a tradition of Black book and cultural shops across the nation, filling an important niche in a community that has been historically denied access to these knowledge bases. You can visit Marshall’s Bookstore yourself at 618 N Farish St, Jackson, MS 39202. The store is open 10 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday and 10 am to 2 pm on Saturdays."

The background is off white with orange text reading "Discussion Questions Have you ever been to Marshall's Bookstore? Do you have any memories of Marshall's Bookstore? Can you think of other Black businesses with a decades-long legacy?" Above, there is a photo of stacks of books sitting atop display cases in front of a wall full of photos, quotes, and other paper memorabilia.

The background is charcoal gray. Five stripes run from the top left corner diagonally to the bottom right corner. They are faded red, yellow, white, blue, and green, respectively. In the center of the graphic, a white box contains black text reading: "Disability Pride Month Fannie Lou Hamer was born the youngest of twenty siblings in Montgomery County, Mississippi, on October 6, 1917. By the age of six, she joined her family in the fields to pick cotton and earn a living via sharecropping. By twelve, she left school to work full time, and she had a permanent limp from a bout with polio well before the vaccine's release in 1955. She married her husband at age 27, and the two continued the path of sharecropping that was the only avenue for many African Americans in Mississippi."
