Generations of New Orleans residents have dreamed of a day when a highway that runs through the Black neighborhood of Tremé might be removed.

Much love to the @memgrizz for embracing the city's music culture on opening night. @evvie_music with the anthem, @dukedeuce901 on the starting lineups, and @ProjectPatHcp at halftime. Memphis. Always. Matters.

"If we are willing to accept as a fact of life that someone who is African American and poor is more than three times more likely to live in a high-poverty neighborhood than a person who is white and poor, we should admit that Memphis is in fact managing its own decline."

OR- and I know this might seem wild Brian- we could champion teaching students in Memphis and across the state to be engaged & informed citizens who actively acknowledge the role that public policies have played in promoting & exacerbating racial inequities

.@OtisSanford: “No, the words systemic racism do not appear – But the coded language is pretty clear... no wonder we have a serious problem addressing racism. With lawmakers like the ones we have in Tennessee, that problem will continue.” 🎯 @MemphisHoller
