A letter from a freed former slave to his onetime master has recently gone viral.
The letter was written in response to an August of 1865 letter from Colonel P.H. Anderson of Big Spring, Tennessee, who wrote to his former slave Jourdan Anderson, requesting that Jourdon return to work on his farm.

Ciara?s love of sports (and single athletes) landed her a gig co-hosting with Kevin Frazier on ?The Insider? to kickoff Sunday’s Super Bowl 46 and she rocked quarterback Tom Brady?s jersey to show her support.

Ciara also caught up with Deon Sanders and the two reportedly reminisced about their “A” town stomping grounds.

So guess what? He got a new gig that can pay that debt and MORE!

Big launched the series last year and began filming short video segments documenting the “Crown Life” of Sir Lucious Leftfoot and now he’s allowed the cameras to go behind the scenes to document his European tour.
The most recent short film follows Big Boi overseas as he performs at Glastonbury in England and at The Hove Festival in Norway.
The cameras also document Big as he spends a day off in Budapest, Hungary.
[Sidebar: Big is still “solo” at the moment… but he and Andre 3000 have been in the studio a lot lately.? So Outkast fans may have a lil surprise coming sooner than later! But you didn’t hear that from me…shhh!]
