IDAHO FALLS – A prominent member of the community and a “giant in the legal community” passed away unexpectedly Friday night.
C. Timothy Hopkins of Hopkins Roden Crockett Hansen & Hoopes Law in downtown Idaho Falls died from heart complications at his Idaho Falls home. He was 85.
Kate Salomon, his oldest daughter, tells EastIdahoNews.com she and her family were devastated to learn of his death and they are going to miss him.
“He truly was an incredible man,” Salomon says.
Hopkins was born in Idaho Falls on March 30, 1936 to Zoe Erbe and Talcott Thompson Hopkins. He had two older brothers, Talcott Erbe Hopkins and Henry Tyler Hopkins.
February is Black History Month, so several Mississippi State University organizations, such as the Student Association and the Holmes Cultural Diversity Center, have planned and orchestrated different events and exhibitions in order to remember and illuminate both the struggles and accomplishments of Black people in America.
These events, targeted at aiding Black students and telling stories of their histories, have occurred on campus or online almost everyday of the month. The month begins with the 28 Days of Service challenge hosted by the African American Studies program. These projects are geared toward serving the community through storytelling, visuals, conferences and more.
In honor of this year s Black History Month, Mississippi State University s Holmes Cultural Diversity Center (HCDC) has partnered with many other campus organizations to hold meaningful programming and celebrate Black history.
Throughout the month of February, the HCDC has offered a number of events, including online panels, movie nights and a social media video series of MSU students discussing what Black history means to them.
One of these students is Kerry McKenzie, a senior majoring in secondary education. He said Black history should be recognized year-round because of its impact on modern life. Black history is world history, McKenzie said. Oftentimes, people push the history of Black people and people of the African diaspora into a single month and attempt to tell the whole story in a mere 28 days. If you were to delete the contributions to humanity that were given by Black people, then the story would be very fragmented and disjointed.
