During the last century it was an epicentre for changes in civil rights and music. The messages sent from this city spread far beyond the banks of the Mississippi. They were read and understood by people all over the world.
Memphis grew rich as a huge trading post for cotton that was cultivated by slave Americans. The descendants of those slaves have used their voices to educate and entertain us all and to make our world a better place.
