Memphis Federal building renamed after 1st black judge
July 25, 2022- Renaming Ceremony at Civic Center Plaza
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A Bluff City building will get a new name after Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill to rename it after the first black federal judge.
The building was previously named after Clifford Davis, a Ku Klux Klan leader and supporter of Jim Crow laws.
Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09), a senior member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, released a statement after the committee passed bill H.R. 390, which would designate the Federal Building in Memphis as the Odell Horton Federal Building.
A renaming ceremony is scheduled for July 25 at 10 a.m. at Civic Center Plaza in front of the Odell Horton Federal Building.

Cornerstone Prep Denver presents 1st Annual K-2 Attendance Prom - "The Enchanted Forest"
REVISED: (Included are K-2 pictures, videos of their Parade and Prom)
Theme: "The Enchanted Forest"
On May 15, 2023, Cornerstone Prep Denver held its 1st Annual K-2 Attendance Prom and it was a phenomenal event with the theme, The Enchanted Forest that included a CPD Parade. Our parents really supported us in raising money and dressing their kids. Most importantly, our parents made sure their child has good attendance and is not designated as “chronically absent” by the TN Department of Education. We’re hopeful that 100% of scholars will earn this reward next year. All they have to do is be present everyday possible (18 days or more is chronic absenteeism).
