The Peavey Parent Resource Center "Without music, the soul is silent. Without education, the world is dark" The Mississippi Forum on Children and Families celebrated the opening of the Peavey Parent Resource Center and the Carter Resource Library on August 20, 1998. A crowd of over 100 guests paid tribute to the memory of the late Melia Peavey and the late Wiley Carter for whom the center and library were named. Melia McRae Peavey, the former president of Peavey Electronic, joined forces with the Forum in 1993 to establish the Corporate Fund for Children. The resources of the fund laid the foundation for the continued development of parent education programming in Mississippi. As administrative assistant to Senator Thad Cochran, Wiley Carter worked on behalf of Mississippians for twenty-three years. His commitment to constituent needs played an important role in securing funding through the Goals 2000: Educate America Act for the parent center. A major gift from the Hardin Foundation funded the furnishing of the parent center library and the development of an Internet site. The BellSouth Foundation provided support for a new home-school-community initiative, Mississippi's Children are Born to Learn and Their Communities are Full of Teachers, that was also announced at the dedication ceremonies.
