Among the other people arrested was Shonda McCarthy, director of the Jackson State University art galleries. McCarthy, 46, was charged with procuring services of a prostitute and possession of marijuana while operating a motor vehicle.

Not exactly an institute of higher learning.

“with procuring services of a prostitute and possession of marijuana while operating a motor vehicle.”

At the same time?

He must have had some bust to be included in a prostitution ring sting.

Oh, never mind...

[rovenstinez]

not often that a female is picked up in these stings.

I broke the rules and looked at the article.

He was arrested in Clinton, Mississippi.

Correct. Historically Black College. Once upon a time, these schools were decent, albeit segregated and poorly funded, poorly equipped, and without any endowment. Now that talented Black students can do to any university in the country, these schools have fallen on hard times. Unfortunately they are often plagued by corruption among the Administration (Democrats, don't you know).

I dunno, pot, booze and sex? That pretty much describes my college years.

[Robert DeLong]

At least it was prostitutes, and not underage children. So I will give him credit on that point.

[Gamecock]

So Shonda solicited prostitutes while driving?

I guess we know why now.

Reads as if a threesome was planned.

I wonder what would have happened had he chosen to ride it out.

When asked about the state of his Jackson, Bynum replied, “I’ll have to check with my staff about it”.

[wardaddy]

You could go there for free when I was a kid if you were white

Desegregating

It was believe it or not safe once on Lynch street

It’s desolate now

My dads key man lived near there....a mixed race black man...top hand...supervisor

Put all his kids in college

Korean vet

We were a contracting family then

The Pecan Blvd area near there was nice....

A pretty blonde hooker in Jackson can do well with the black elite male biz community

“I understand I may not be your choice,” Bynum told one angry student in 2017. “All I say to you is, watch me work.”

Now we've seen him work.
