Hunting pheasants is a huge tradition in South Dakota. It's a way of life in the state and it encourages people to get outside, especially the kids. The Turner County Youth Pheasant Hunt is all about involving kids in this sport and practicing safety. On top of this excitement, some celebrities even join the fun and perform a show at Parker High School. This year, Josh Gracin is the special guest on Saturday, October 19th. Tickets for the Turner County Charity Youth Pheasant concert can be found at itickets.com.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' win over Samford and the state of the team heading into College Station. Quarterback Payton Thorne was at his very best against Samford. The transfer from Michigan State accounted for more than 400 yards and three touchdowns, but can he replicate that kind of effectiveness against the Southeastern Conference? The guys think it's more about this offensive line and this run game than anything the quarterback can or cannot do. How about the defense? They've created seven takeaways, which is tied for the league lead, and have been at least solid against both the pass and the run. With nickel Keionte Scott out for the foreseeable future, however, can the Tigers' defense remain this stingy an opportunitistic? Caleb reviews his road trips to see commits Bryce Cain and Perry Thompson down south, his trip to Parker High School in Birmingham to see targets Jeremiah Beamon, Na'eem Offord and Jourdin Crawford.  The show ends with an ample supply of shoutout and commendations for members of the AuburnSports.com/Bunker community! The show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company with locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Florence, Charlotte and Las Vegas.

Jesse Champion was born in the Dolomite community of Birmingham in 1927. While attending Parker High School, he worked under Fess Whatley, the well-known musician and music instructor, from whom he learned to play the clarinet and drums. After high school, he served in the Navy before entering Morehouse College in Atlanta. A scholarship to Alabama A&M enabled him to complete his undergraduate education in 1950. As a high school teacher in Gadsden, Alabama in the 1950s, Champion spent summers attending graduate school at Notre Dame. In 1960, he and his family returned to Birmingham. While teaching at Council Elementary School in the Ensley area of Birmingham, Champion had a run-in with the Birmingham Police Department. The incident, which occurred during the April 1963 demonstrations by local high school students, cost him his position with the school system. Listen to Jesse Champion talk about his experience as a high school teacher at the height of the Birmingham demonstrations.

A second-generation pastor, Reverend Calvin Woods was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1933 and educated at Parker High School and Birmingham Baptist Bible College. He also graduated from Miles College and engaged in studies at other institutions. When the Alabama Christian Movement for Human Rights was founded in 1956, Woods was already known for his beliefs. He spoke out from the pulpit on the unconstitutional ity of segregation laws. His outspokenness eventually led to an incident that marked his early involvement in the organized movement for change in Birmingham and the South. Listen to Reverend Woods discuss that incident and his general role in the Birmingham Movement.

Dr. James T. Montgomery was born in the South Alabama town of Atmore in 1926. When he was 10 years old, his family moved to Birmingham where they made a living in the grocery business. After graduating from Rosedale High School, Dr. Montgomery went to Atlanta to study at Morehouse College, from which he graduated in 1947. In order to save money for medical school, Montgomery and his wife lived with his grandparents in Birmingham while he taught Biology and Chemistry for two years at Parker High School. In 1950, the Montgomerys moved to Washington, D.C. where James attended Howard University Medical School. Following residencies in St. Louis and Boston, Dr. Montgomery and his wife returned to Birmingham, where he set out to practice cardiology. Listen as James Montgomery discusses his return to Birmingham in the late-1950s and his reception by local White physicians, many of whom privately encouraged his practice, while publicly refusing to support his induction into medical societies or his ability to see patients in all the city's hospitals.

Carrie Hamilton Lock, the daughter of Florida and William Hamilton, was born in Birmingham in 1949. Both of her parents were actively involved in many aspects of the Movement, as were most of her neighbors in the Rising community. During the 1963 demonstrations in downtown Birmingham, Lock was a student at Parker High School. She marched and attended mass meetings with friends and family. One year later, at the beginning of the 1964-'65 school year, Lock walked into Birmingham's West End High School amid jeers from a mob of White protestors who did not wish to see public schools integrated. She was the only Black student to attend the school that year. Listen to Lock recall that first day of school at West End High.

Born in the Black Belt town of Hayneville in Lowndes County, Alabama, Colonel Stone Johnson moved to Birmingham at the age of four with his parents, a homemaker and a college-educated cement finisher. After graduating from Parker High School, Johnson became a truck driver for Hormel Packing Company. It was then, in the 1940s, that Johnson became actively involved in union organizing. This period also marked the beginning of his civil rights movement activism, for Johnson saw much discrepancy between the treatment and pay of Black workers and that of Whites. Listen to Colonel Johnson explain his reasons for getting involved in the Civil Rights Movement.

Florida Hamilton was born in Bessemer, Alabama in 1925 and reared in Birmingham. After graduating from Parker High School, she married a minister. Hamilton cared for her family while working for local physicians and with the Children's Aid Society. Encouraged by her best friend from church, Hamilton began attending mass meetings in the early 1960s. She took her children along. The entire Hamilton family was involved in meetings, marches, and demonstrations. In Fall 1964, one year after two Black students had integrated and graduated from Birmingham's West End High School, Reverend and Mrs. Hamilton enrolled their daughter, Carrie, in the school. Carrie was the only Black student in the school, for other Black families who had planned to send their children opted out before the first day of school. Listen to Florida Hamilton remember the day that Carrie faced a crowd of angry Whites and proudly entered West End High School.
