Catching Up With ‘Back Up’ Terry

“Put it in reverse, Terry.”

Antario Terry Davis is the man at the center of that video.

That accident happened back in 2017 and the video went viral in 2019. The iconic 4th of July video led to thousands of dollars being donated to Terry from people across the country and the mid-south.

“The first year we got the money, we used most of every penny to his wheelchair and also getting him a van,” his mother Annettea Carter said.

“I really do appreciate how they help me out,” Davis said.

Terry has now helped host 4th of July celebrations in cities across the country, except his hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. 

That, however, could change soon.

The city plans to work with Terry and his family to hopefully have him at next year’s celebration.
