A local story worth sharing
Video: WUFT. Published September 30, 2024.
WUFT reporter Natasha Holt profiled Malcolm Graham’s daily dancing, his encouragement for neighbors, and the community’s response. The report describes how waves and smiles from passing drivers helped the nickname Mr. Alachua take hold.
Joy travels both ways
Neighbors brought signs, practical help, and words of support. The story also describes Malcolm’s positive messages on social media and local businesses backing his efforts.
This is a look back at WUFT’s 2024 reporting, rather than a promise about Malcolm’s current location or daily schedule.
