I had the pleasure to know Willie Cager. He was a ray of light and a hero. Breaking barriers is never easy but in 1966 he and Texas Western Men’s BB shocked the world and forever changed the sport. RIP. Love you.

Today we celebrated MLK with a Garland City parade and a Lift Every Voice and sing music. The events were superb and honored MlK’s legacy. Our students shined. We are better together and let’s continue to #bethelight. @garlandtxgov @gisdnews
