Good morning, Corpus Christi.

Thousands of protesters gathered today in Corpus Christi to deliver a clear message of 'No Kings' during a public demonstration against centralized power & calling for changes in local leadership.

Organizers said the rally reflects growing community concerns and may lead to further events.

On Saturday, community members gathered at the Hi-Ho Drive Inn on Baldwin Boulevard to support local legend Ronnie "Pointy Boots" Mathis — battling stage 4 prostate cancer — during a fundraiser organized by pitmaster Pete Trevino.

Today is Women Veterans Day and the USS Lexington Museum in Corpus Christi features a new exhibit that honors the work of women in the Navy — the display covers milestones from women working as nurses in 1908 to joining the carrier permanently in 1980.
