    As governor, Bredesen faced the infant mortality crisis head on and made infant health a priority

    Of all the health care issues that any community faces, infant mortality causes the most heartbreak. Nothing matters more than giving our babies – each and every one of them – a fighting chance. Nowhere has it mattered more than in Memphis.

    Montgomery to Memphis

    If you want to really know your country, Memphis is a good place to start. Artists such as Howlin’ Wolf and Elvis Presley brought American culture together and sent it around the world from a studio only steps from where a slave trader was celebrated in a city park. Martin Luther King Jr. marched for economic justice, climbed to the mountaintop, and was taken by an assassin’s bullet, all within a triangle separated by a couple of miles.

    The Memphis 10: Trump visit, aftermath of Trenary murder mark a messy week

    It was a week of sobering news and a news-making Presidential visit. Because the opening items underscore reckonings that came, alternately, from us and to us, I kept it light on the rest of this week’s 10.

    Barnes: Phil Trenary worked to make Memphis better. His work must continue.

    Phil Trenary was a friend who I met through work. I think this was probably true of many of Phil’s friends. They met him through work. That’s because Phil’s work, his passion for so many years, was to make Memphis, this city he loved, a better place.

    Lee seems well-positioned to break the 52-year trend of the governor’s office alternating between the two major parties - or is he?

    If you believe the polls, Republican Bill Lee is steamrolling toward victory in the Tennessee governor’s race.

    A Downtown Memphis, walked

    The Memphis 10: Al Green and Willie Herenton return, Kyle Taylor paints, and more

    The heritage of Hi Records brackets this first weekly list, with the sound of Al Green and the image of guitarist/songwriter Teenie Hodges making unexpected appearances. Elsewhere, our criminal justice system bears watching, next year’s mayor’s race gets weird, and our food trucks get some pub.
