Carr was one of the first African-American students to graduate from Sidney Lanier High School. Carr was a long-time employee at WSFA, a local television station. Carr was 62-years-old.
Seat Check
The Beasley Allen Law Firm is sponsoring its 4th annual Seat Check Saturday this weekend. The event is a chance for parents and caregivers to get free advice and tips on ensuring their child's safety while on the road. Labarron Boone, a partner with the Beasley Allen Law Firm, says most traffic accidents where children are injured are a result of parents lacking education about their child restraints. Saturday's event will be held at the Shoppes at Eastchase from 9 a.m. until noon.
