Can the new mayor get a Hotty Toddy?

Calling all Ole Miss and Tennessee State alumni/fans. Our best research shows that A C Wharton, as a graduate of Tennessee State and with a law degree from Ole Miss, gives City Hall two more firsts at the same time.

Can we get a Hotty Toddy on that? We'll look close in the coming days at former Memphis mayors, but it appears that the city has its first mayor who graduated from either Ole Miss and/or Tennessee State.
