Sad news for all of us this morning. Mike Cody passed away yesterday. He was a champion of Civil Rights and protecting Memphis - especially The Old Forest. I will miss our talks in The Old Forest. He left every life he touched better for the contact. Thank you for a life well lived and the great legacy.

This is the 4th time Citizens to Preserve Overton Park has had a hand in saving Overton Park. What a win in the year of the 50th Anniversary of their historic Supreme Court decision. This is a huge win for all the people that have been fighting this fight throughout the decades.

The Memphis Zoo has agreed to give back part of the Old Forest in Overton Park that it had once planned to use as an exhibit on the Chickasaw Bluffs.
