‘She’ll probably be a world champion:’ Jason Terry talks Chennedy Carter and reminisces on days with Atlanta Hawks
Share this story
It has all come full circle for Jason Terry.
21 years after the Atlanta Hawks selected the guard out of the University of Arizona with the 10th overall pick in the 1999 NBA Draft, the Atlanta Dream selected his goddaughter Chennedy Carter, a guard out of Texas A&M, with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2020 WNBA Draft.
Terry first met Carter on the AAU circuit when she was in sixth grade.
During every offseason in the latter half of his 19-season NBA career, Terry coached his daughter’s AAU program in Dallas. When his daughter’s team faced Carter for the first time, she immediately stood out.
He s really making some strong statements about the value of education and investing in young people, he said.
Higher education leaders were particularly heartened by Biden s plan to boost the Pell Grant, even if the maximum amount of the federal financial aid grant, currently $6,495, wasn’t doubled as many had hoped.
Across HBCUs, about two-thirds of students are Pell eligible. Nearly 75 percent of the students at Dillard are eligible.
The proposed funding in the Biden plan comes at a time when the financial status of long-struggling minority-serving institutions in general, and HBCUs in particular, is getting widespread attention. Public awareness of racial, economic and educational inequities has been increasing as part of the country s racial reckoning since the killing of George Floyd. Policy makers and philanthropists alike have moved to address these issues and support institutions that educate large numbers of students of color.

“Here’s a maid from sunny Baltimore. From the way she reads Latin we think they must speak it down there… She expects to enter U.V.M. next year. We know she’ll make good.” So reads the St. Johnsbury Academy yearbook entry for Edna Hall Brown, who spent a year at the preparatory school in Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom before enrolling at UVM in 1926. Brown, the first-known Black woman to graduate from UVM, did, indeed, make good.
