    Unfortunately this is apart of American history and all parts good, bad, and indifferent should be displayed. Im planning to take my liitle one here one day so that she can understand all Blessings and opportunities we are allowed now that not to long ago we didnt have and that you should never forget those that came before you. Im thankful that world i grew up in and the one she grows up in now is a totally different place. Thanks TCB!!

Now that I’m an adult with a little lady of my own I think it’d be awesome to take a family trip for these three generations. Thank you for sharing as always.

      I mean, in 32 years, she could have found herself a job and an apartment.
      Instead, she’s chosen to sit on a street corner and protest. And for what? Because she was kicked out of the motel? If they had torn it down, she still would have been kicked out. The reason why Memphis has turned much of Union Street and the surrounding area into a museum district is because Beale Street is, well, what it is. It attracts petty crime, and sometimes more serious crime.
      I have been to Memphis more than once. I have friends that grew up and LEFT. It’s a pretty city, but it’s not somewhere to explore after dark unless you’re with your peeps.
