I map various subjects concerning inequality in Memphis, TN. Memphis is one of the poorest and most violent cities in America. It is unique in the fact that it is the only majority African-American metropolitan area with over 1 million people in America. Things are not good on whole for black people in Memphis.

I am retired and spend my time creating educational websites. http://kr-improvements.blogspot.com/Douglas Kortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00466437232929854018noreply@blogger.com
