“Thank you so much for taking the time to come out and speak with us! I will always remember the event and I’m eternally grateful for you and Mr. McDowell. @msgladysknight @fortuneandmind.”
According to “Citizen Times” Gladys and William, who married in 2001, purchased the dilapidated and closed-down Reynolds High School in Canton, which was once the only African-American high school in Western North Carolina west of Asheville. Their aim is to renovate the building and rename it Reynolds Community Center. To achieve this, the couple also started a fundraising campaign.
Speaking to “Times-News” correspondent Jason Gilmer, Gladys explained their goal with reviving the school.
“You’ve heard ‘reach one, teach one’? This organization says ‘reach some, teach some. I love that about having the school. It will be multi-cultural. It will be multi-historical. Music is just a catalyst. When we get down to touching young people in their spirits, in their hearts, in their minds, then I think we’re doing something world changing.”
Gladys Knight is not only an ageless beauty and a talented singer, but a woman who gives back to the community. Do you also think Gladys and William both looked great on the video clip?
