Clarksdale Rising

04/12/2025

This bent and battered hammer was painted by the incredible .liston in Clarksdale, Mississippi while he was painting murals to uplift the town of Clarksdale on Ground Zero Blues Club.

This masterpiece, now hanging in our new Hollywood Hills estate- is more than just a relic. It symbolizes the pressure, the betrayal, the hypocrisy, and the outright criminality we faced in our fight to honor our father's legacy. Thank you, Steve Markoff for literally wrenching it from the hands of the grifters who dared to steal it. Their audacity will be remembered for what it was: a desperate losers attempt to rewrite a truth they could never claim.
Our father, Bill Luckett was a builder-not just of structures, of communities, but of meaning-amid a wasteland of detritus, inequality, frauds, and pretenders. This piece is titled: "Don't Let Others' Untruths Become Your Reality." Dad, we know you're proud. We honored your intentions to the letter, with integrity as our compass. As for those who leeched from your legacy- parasites feeding on your memory-they inherit nothing but their own lies.
We carry your spirit forward-in the art, the ideas, and the soul you gave us. For they will never know that magic we poses for they live a lie, for they are the lie. You are loved to the end of time! *Way down we go indeed!!!* KALEO 🎨💕🔥🎶

Robotics in Clarksdale...

Clarksdale High School’s VEX Robotics team brings its members together through the use and application of S.T.E.M related activities and to persevere through strenuous and demanding challenges determined by the international VEX Competition. The focus of the team is unity and a collective mindset around one principle: each failure brings us closer to success. On August 1st our head coach, Joe Greenberg, began his recruitment process for the first robotics team in Clarksdale High’s school history. By mid-August, nearly 30 signed up for the first tryout. After three aptitude-based tryouts, 10 students were selected for three teams under the Clarksdale High School VEX umbrella. After meeting assistant coach, Benjamin Lewis, these students dove into their work on coding, building, designing, and driving. By February, they competed in their first tournament where they received a top ten placement. Additionally, two coders ranked in the top fifty in the world for the VEX Programing Skills Challenge. They continue their work over the summer towards a second year of robotics progress and success.
