In Remembrance of the Fallen

Episode 5 is dedicated to our fallen freshman brothers Kedrick Brown (Flag Corps), Keno Thompson (Baritone), Bernard BJ Jones (Percussion), Carlton Simmons (Saxophone) and Lawrence Sims (Baritone), who have passed away since our time at FAMU.  We share memories with Cliffton Stevenson, Jayda Rainey and Licensed Professional Counselor Kawanza Dukes (https://licensedtosolve.com/) and discuss the unique ways that the Marching 100 influences our experience of grief and loss.  If you are experiencing a mental health crisis call 1-800-273-TALK or 988 for assistance.
