In an impassioned speech Monday night, Jonesborough Alderman Adam Dickson — the town’s only African American alderman — addressed the East Tennessee State men’s basketball team’s decision to kneel for the national anthem, calling on people to “listen with the desire to at least acknowledge, if not understand’’ each other.

Already a historical giant with an undeniable and lasting legacy in the town (the McKinney Center for the Arts is named for him), McKinney’s family and the town of Jonesborough wanted to add to his legacy by establishing the Ernest McKinney Scholarship Fund. ....
