William Carey University’s 12th Annual Scholarship Dinner will be Oct. 9 at Lake Terrace Convention Center. The special guest at this year’s fund-raiser will be motivational speaker Kirk Cameron. “People remember him as Mike Seaver in the 1980’s sit-com, ‘Growing Pains.’ But since then, he’s invested his time and energy into faith- and family-based films and television shows – and hundreds of live events focused on marriage, family, and parenting,” said Karen Golson, WCU director of advancement. Cameron’s film projects include “Fireproof,” a 2008 Christian drama about a troubled marriage that became the No. 1 inspirational movie of the year and inspired a best-selling book, “The Love Dare,” which helps people transform and improve their marriages. --Magnolia State Live: Kirk Cameron, known from “Growing Pains,” to keynote event at Mississippi university 9.10.23

“We’re pleased that Parchman has started to address the cruel and inhumane prison conditions after the Department of Justice’s investigation, but we aren’t satisfied with short-term improvements. The Mississippi Department of Corrections has neglected these torturous living conditions for decades, so we will continue to hold them accountable and ensure they commit to creating long-lasting change that safely protects their incarcerated population.”
