Memphis bridges over Mississippi River to glow red & gold for Tyre Nichols

The Memphis bridges over the Mississippi River lit up to honor the memory of Tyre Nichols Wednesday evening, following his funeral services in the morning.

The Mighty Lights glowed red and gold, the colors of the San Francisco 49ers, which organizers said was Nichol’s favorite sports team. The lights on the Big River Crossing and the I-40 Hernando de Soto Bridge were lit up beginning at sundown Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023.
