He went on to be the first Black leader of Mississippi's Knights of Columbus. He feared God, fought for civil rights and loved his kids.

Felix was a great man. When he was 18 and I was 20 we helped stop Governor Fordice from turning @MVSUDEVILS into a prison.

I just got a call that one of my best friends was shot and killed this morning. I will be off Twitter for a while. Life is so fragile.
