Memphis – known as a city of innovators and change-makers. Unwilling to accept the status quo or keep things as they are that need to be changed, Memphians bring their soul to work every day, seeking solutions through collaboration, innovation, and meaningful conversations. New Mayor Paul Young has done just that, creating the new Black Mayors’ Coalition. Working together with 21 mayors from 11 different states to discuss challenges, opportunities, and tactics, the coalition is focused on solutions that both reduce crime and engage with the community in meaningful ways.
