Rex Chapman was literally a college basketball legend at Kentucky then played in the NBA 12 years. Turned his life around after drug addiction and that should be celebrated. Everyone deserves a second chance.

@RexChapman After almost dying from Covid, I volunteered to be in a 9 week clinical trial to get FDA approval for a Covid monoclonal antibody treatment. 2 shots in my stomach each week. Well worth it to try and help others.

@RexChapman @PopCrave As a journalist, it is perplexing that there was not the same interest with the 78 migrants who died in the ship that sank off the coast of Greece last week. Those people were just as important and we covered it. The billionaires are also important. Just interesting to see how.

Interesting thread. Julia Roberts’s parent’s, Walter and Betty Roberts, ran a writing and actor's workshop. The children of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., were enrolled there. It was the only integrated children's theater group in Atlanta. #MLKDay.
Coretta Scott King was truly a generous gift. One of my favorite little known facts about her — was that her children attended an acting school. When the owners of the acting school gave birth to their daughter, Julia Roberts, Correta Scott King paid all of their hospital bills.
