I heard about this on WAPT as well. My prayers go out to him and his family, too. About a month or so ago, he did his Friday night show on WMPR. He didn't sound too well then, but I thought he would pull through it and be back on the air. Let's hope for miracle.

He's gone. Charles Tisdale, the publisher of the Jackson Advocate and a civil rights advocate, died this evening after being taken off life support. Tisdale was removed from life support at about 8:20 p.m. Safe journey, Mr. Tisdale: and thank you.
