Yesterday's answer is Hiram Rhodes Revels! Comment to let us know if you got it right. 👇⬇️

Revels paved a way for countless Americans by overcoming severe challenges—including debates over his citizenship due to the Dred Scott decision and pre-Fourteenth Amendment laws, despite being born a free man.

After three days of discourse, the Fayetteville native was finally admitted to the Senate as the first African American Senator in 1870 for Mississippi. Afterwards, Revels served as Mississippi secretary of state in 1873, as president of Alcorn Agricultural College from 1876 to 1882, and finally, he inspired masses as an ordained minister until his passing in 1901.

Revels championed education for black Americans, spoke out against segregation, and combated efforts to undermine the rights of African Americans. 📍 Look for Revel's historical marker at the intersection of Murchison Road (State Highway 210) and Blue Street, and tag us to be featured on our story.

Today is , and we're bursting with pride as two local trailblazers make their mark on the global stage. JaMessia Ford, an alum of Jack Britt High School, and Quanera Hayes, a graduate of Grey’s Creek High School, are now ranked #1 and #3 in the world for the 300m!

Both athletes launched their journeys with the Fayetteville Flyers summer track club, and their relentless drive is now paying off:

• JaMessia Ford—a sophomore at the University of South Carolina—amazed everyone with a stellar 36.48-second run at the USC Invitational on January 11, 2024. She also holds the fastest 400m time in both the NCAA and worldwide at 51.20 seconds. ()

• Quanera Hayes—an Olympian and Nike-sponsored pro—dazzled fans with a blazing 36.74-second performance at Clemson University. She also ranks 9th in the world for the 600m with an impressive 1:26.76. ()

Huge congratulations to JaMessia and Quanera for their phenomenal achievements. From Fayetteville/Cumberland to the world stage, your success lights up our community! Thank you to Fayetteville Track & Field News for breaking the story.
