Looking Over the President's Shoulder

  • Resumen

  • On this episode of First City Focus:

    The grandson of a freed slave, Alonzo Fields grew up in Gibson County. In a twist of life, he became a butler in the White House in 1931 and went on to become the Chief Butler under four Presidents. We’ll learn how the Lyles Station School House & Museum and the Princeton Theatre are coming together to present an upcoming historical play, Looking Over the President’s Shoulder, to share his amazing story to local audiences.

    In a special feature we’ll introduce you to Project Search. It’s a program designed to educate and train high school students with disabilities as interns. The ultimate goal of the program is to help pave a path towards full time employment. We’ll find out how this program is helping these interns find their confidence as they transition into adulthood.

    And we’ll take a look at a current effort underway in Knox County to make a large indoor sports complex a reality. It’s called the Knox Sports Complex and organizers are working on fundraising to purchase the proposed site.
