    Echols: Ja Morant’s game hints at something more. Something sacred.

    “Each of us has a particular history, personality, community, set of strengths and weaknesses – and most importantly – heart full of loves. All of these are useful as we sort out how we might fit into Memphis.”

    Hutchinson: Consider a credit freeze after data breach

    The Identity Theft Resource Center recommends that data breach notices explicitly recommend that victims freeze their credit and that credit reporting agencies create a common system for people to do so.

    Opinion: A ‘new and purely authentic’ idea for the Coliseum

    “Support Chris Reyes and his quest for a two-year lease of 15,000 square feet inside the Coliseum so he can expand and build his incredible interactive playground.”

    Opinion: Some conservative women support abortion rights

    Conservative Kristina Garner writes about her support of limited government, individual freedoms, the right to bear arms, a strong military, and the importance of state and local rights. But on abortion, she writes that decades of discrimination against women lead her and many other conservatives to disagree with the Republican Party’s position.

    Opinion: Why recycling could mean a cleaner Tennessee

    The Tennessee CLEAN Act is aimed at bringing together industries, organizations and consumers to put an end to litter in Tennessee by preventing products from becoming litter in the first place.

    Echols: A Christmas column that isn’t tinsel and twinkles

    “Today’s column is about the ways the evil of this world threatens humanity, both through our own choices, and through the spiritual forces in and at work around us. Which is exactly the reason for Christmas.”

    Opinion: Independent study could reopen MLGW/TVA debate

    “The nationally-recognized firm Enervision, is expected to submit its analysis to City Hall before year-end, a potential game-changer that MLGW will not acknowledge.”

    Echols: Thanksgiving traditions for the modern family

    “The modern American — me, included — can barely sit through a wheat-harvesting description without checking her phone for something a tad more interesting.”

    Guest Column: A first-time voter reflects on the importance — and the challenges — of voting

    “Every vote does indeed count. But election information should be more accessible to everyone, and candidates need to spend time with who they want to represent.”

    By Anna Calvo November 19, 2022

    Guest Column: Advice from a poll worker a week after Election Day

    “We need more citizens preparing themselves to vote by weighing the choices to be made, making informed choices about their votes, and then showing up to vote.”

  • Guest Columnists

    Opinion: Tackling injustice at the roots

    “It’s time to move past surface-level ‘fixes’ that blame the community for the problems that systems create. We believe that communities, particularly communities of color, deeply and intimately understand the problem and therefore hold the transformative solutions that will last.”

    Echols: ‘My Magnificent Lover’

    “Real, gut-level laughter is a gift from God; laughter was his design. It’s also a wildly underestimated instrument of light for both children and adults. It has the power to cut through some dark moments, and we need tools that have power like that right now.”

    Guest Column: Homeless — but not without hope — in Memphis

    “From one end of the state to the other, we have children sleeping on the floors of government offices. There are more than 9,000 foster children in Tennessee, but less than half as many homes exist to care for them.”

    Guest column: How a rabbi inspired my role at the National Civil Rights Museum today

    “Seeing history as informing who we are and what we must do in the present no matter what befalls us as a city, nation, and world.”

    By Russell Wigginton Jr. November 14, 2022
  • Guest Columnists

    Echols: ‘Don’t grow up. It’s a trap.’

    “It makes sense of a mother’s tears on the first day of kindergarten or at high school graduation. It recognizes a college graduate’s homesickness for her roommates. It validates a father’s emotion as he gives his daughter away on her wedding day.”

    Morris: Conversations about health care are increasingly complex

    “We’ve done something remarkable together here in Memphis for the last 35 years. We’ve been people of faith who have responded to a broken health care system.”

    Opinion: Abortion should get you to the polls (and if I was a man, maybe you’d listen)

    “Girls and women in Tennessee need their fathers and husbands and brothers and sons to step up and vote to end the government’s regulation of women’s bodies.”

    Opinion: A public health approach to community violence

    “The recent community violence may seem unprecedented and shocking to some in our community. Yet, for many of our Shelby County families, violent crime has long been a part of their daily reality.”

    Echols: Finding what we believe down deep — where it matters

    “There’s no person who is completely free of faith. Even atheism requires a hearty and confident step of conviction. And when you find you’re locked in a teeny, tiny closet, even the smallest step matters.”

    Opinion: Bringing renewable energy and efficiency to real estate development

    “C-PACER allows commercial property owners and developers to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings with low-cost financing provided by private lenders, shielding them from rising energy prices in the medium to long term.”

    Opinion: Vote no on ‘needless and harmful’ Amendment 1

    “In the name of individual freedom, these business interest groups wish to create different classes of workers to keep them pitted against each other instead of working in harmony for improved conditions in the workplace.”

    Opinion: We deserve the Coliseum AND a new soccer stadium

    “Just like we can’t give up on Memphis, we can’t give up on the Coliseum. A lot of people want to. But we have to stare our problems in the eyes, be creative, then make brilliant visions happen.”

    Opinion: Vote yes on Amendment 1 to protect the rights of workers

    “The Volunteer State has proudly protected the right to work for 75 years now. By voting ‘yes’ on Amendment 1, you can help make it a constitutional protection and preserve this Tennessee tradition for decades to come.”

    By Jim Brown, Bradley Jackson, Justin Owen November 01, 2022
  • Free to readers Guest Columnists

    Opinion: Even if you don’t like the candidates, hold your nose and vote

    “I’m fully aware of the arguments against voting. It’s a waste of time. It won’t change anything. No time to vote. Can’t trust any of them. My candidate won’t win anyway. But our lives are affected by the people we vote into office.”

    Hutchinson: Buyer beware when shopping for cars online

    If you’re buying it from an online-only dealer, be sure you understand the return and refund policy and that the dealer’s reputation indicates it will stand behind the policy.
