BLM Mississippi protests killing of infant in I-10 shootout By Mike Lacy | May 10, 2021 at 6:59 AM CDT - Updated May 10 at 4:07 PM
BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Sunday afternoon it was a memorial service and a call for justice. Black Lives Matter Mississippi protestors were demanding answers in an interstate shootout that happened last week involving law enforcement. That shooting ended the lives of a double-murder suspect and his three-month-old son.
Protestors say the matter could have been resolved without killing an innocent child.
The tragic scene on Interstate 10 last week in which murder suspect Eric Smith was gunned down still shows the scars and evidence of the horror. But it is now a growing memorial in honor of Smith’s three-month-old son La’Mello Parker, who also died in the hail of bullets.

A Mississippi middle school is facing backlash after a teacher assigned an essay asking students to pretend they re slaves.
The incident took place at Purvis Middle School in Lamar County, Mississippi, as part of what was supposed to be a lesson on the atrocities and negatives of slavery,” WDAM7 reported.
Titled the “Slave Letter Writing Activity,” the assignment prompted the students to “pretend like you are a slave working on a Mississippi plantation” and “write a letter to your family back in Africa or in another American state describing your life.”
