On Saturday morning, members of the Memphis community and Eliza Fletcher’s family and friends will gather to say their final goodbyes to the Tennessee educator and mother.

Fletcher, who was 34 years old at the time of her death, was out jogging close to the University of Memphis campus at approximately 4:30 a.m. on September 2 when she was reportedly kidnapped and murdered by a stranger named Cleotha Henderson. The memorial services for Fletcher will be held at the Second Presbyterian Church in Memphis, Tennessee. It was at this church that she first met Richard, her husband of eight years.

Henderson, who has a history of violent criminal behavior, has since been charged with multiple counts, including first-degree murder, premeditated murder, and murder in perpetration of kidnappings, in addition to other counts that include aggravated kidnapping and tampering with/fabricating evidence. These charges are in addition to other counts that include murder in perpetration of kidnappings.

In addition to being a married mother of two children, Fletcher was also a descendant of the Orgill fortune. She taught at the Promise Academy before taking a position at St. Mary’s Episcopal School, where she was in charge of the junior kindergarten class.

Next Article Supreme Court denies bid by Yeshiva University to block LGBTQ+ student organization The Supreme Court has denied Yeshiva University's bid to block an LGBTQ+ student organization from forming on its campus. The university had argued that the group would violate its religious beliefs, but the court rejected that argument. This means that the group can go ahead and form, and LGBTQ+ students at Yeshiva will have a place to turn for support and community. -Supreme Court denies Yeshiva University's bid to block LGBTQ+ student organization The Supreme Court on Monday denied a bid by Yeshiva University to block the formation of an LGBTQ+ student organization on its campus. The court's decision not to hear the case leaves in place a lower court ruling that found the university had violated the rights of students when it denied them the ability to form the group. The case began in 2017, when a group of students at Yeshiva University attempted to form an LGBTQ+ student organization called "Allies." The university denied their request, citing the school's "religious mission." The students then sued the university, alleging that the denial of their request violated their rights under the First Amendment and the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. A federal district court ruled in favor of the students, and the university appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. That court also ruled in favor of the students, finding that the university had violated their constitutional rights. The university then asked the Supreme Court to hear the case, but the court declined to do so, leaving the lower court's ruling in place. This means that Yeshiva University must allow the formation of the LGBTQ+ student organization on its campus. The Supreme Court's decision not to hear the case is a victory for the students and for LGBTQ+ rights more broadly. It is also a reminder that universities must respect the constitutional rights of their students. -Justices rule unanimously in favor of students' right to form club The Supreme Court has ruled unanimously in favor of students' right to form a club on the campus of Yeshiva University, a private Jewish institution in New York City. The Court's decision means that the university must now allow an LGBTQ+ student organization to form on its campus. The case began when a group of students attempted to form an LGBTQ+ club at Yeshiva University in 2016. The university denied their request, citing the school's religious mission. The students then sued the university, arguing that their First Amendment rights were being violated. The Supreme Court's decision is a victory for the students and for LGBTQ+ rights more broadly. It sends a strong message that private institutions cannot discriminate against students on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. -Yeshiva had argued that club would violate school's religious mission Yeshiva University had argued that the formation of an LGBTQ+ student organization would violate the school's religious mission. The Supreme Court has denied this bid, ruling that the school must allow the club to form. This is a significant victory for LGBTQ+ rights, as it sets a precedent that religious institutions cannot discriminate against LGBTQ+ students. -Club will be allowed to operate on campus The Supreme Court has denied a bid by Yeshiva University to block the formation of an LGBTQ+ student organization on campus. The university had argued that the club would violate the school's religious beliefs, but the Court ruled that the school had not provided enough evidence to support that claim. This is a victory for LGBTQ+ students at Yeshiva and other religious colleges who have been fighting for the right to form these organizations on campus. It is also a reminder that the Supreme Court will not always side with religious institutions when it comes to issues of equality and civil rights. -Students hail ruling as victory for inclusivity In a victory for inclusivity, the Supreme Court has denied a bid by Yeshiva University to block an LGBTQ+ student organization from forming on campus. The decision means that the group, called Queer Alliance, can proceed with its plans to provide support and advocacy for LGBTQ+ students at the university. The case began when Yeshiva University administrators tried to block the formation of Queer Alliance, claiming that the group's mission was not compatible with the university's religious values. However, the Supreme Court's decision means that the group can go ahead with its plans, and it is a victory for LGBTQ+ rights on campus. The ruling is a welcome development for LGBTQ+ students at Yeshiva University, who have long been underserved by the university's administration. The formation of Queer Alliance will help to create a more inclusive and supportive campus environment for all students. Supreme Court rejects prior ruling, enables Jewish university to refuse LGBTQ+ recognition
