Celebrity Tablescapes - Reba Table with Boots

Reba McEntire Table at a Nashville Celebrity Tablescape

As far as one little boy was concerned, Moses Knight was the heart of Rector AR (population 2,000.) This kind, banjo playing and story telling soul who loved children, was for a while the only African-American in that community in the early 20th Century. Transplanted from Tennessee after the Civil War, he never received an education but spoke as eloquently as any scholar and the lessons you learned at his side stayed with you for a lifetime. 'Uncle Mose' as he was known held a special place in the hearts of all who knew him and Bill Carter was no exception.
Carter went on to become a Secret Service agent, attorney for The Rolling Stones, manager for Reba McEntire, business associate of the founder of FedEX, author, executive producer for David Bowie and Gaithers Television, and political king maker. Carter has certainly lived life in the fast lane and had a seat at some of the most powerful tables in the world, but he never forgot that rural spot of heaven or the people who taught him the values he has carried through life.
Bill Carter helped to establish The Rector High School Helping Hands Foundation for the purpose of helping meet the financial needs of disadvantaged students attending Rector public schools. He never forgot the first musician in his life, so naturally when a painting was offered to benefit the Foundation, he suggested a portrait of Moses Knight. When a wealthy couple heard the story, they were so touched that they endowed an annual scholarship for the children of Rector through the Foundation to keep Knight's name alive for eternity. The only stipulation was that they were to keep the donation anonymous. As Christians they were led to help others and wanted no glory. A copy of the portait hangs in Carter's home today behind his favorite recliner. Uncle Mose is still watching over this little boy's shoulder, a long way from Rector, but never far from his heart.
