First created by Ida B. Wells in the 1880's, it was the most radical Black advocacy newspaper of its time. Ida B. Wells took over the paper,and became of one the best, most fierce,Black activist journalist in the country. in that spirit, we are recreating the Memphis Free Speech as a 21st century blog to push for similar ideas that we believe that she would have supported. were she alive at this time.

Hello from Memphis
This is the first post for Memphis Free Speech, we have been so preoccupied with Facebook, forgot about this blog. Yet, with ever more media censorship by the Memphis commercial media, which refuses to even say our name in public, we needed to develop options to the old mass media concept. Thus we jump on this blog. You can keep up with many of the campaigns of the Memphis Black Autonomy Federation, and get reports here that the commercial mass media will not touch. So, by attempting to censor us in the local mass media, they have made us create new alternatives that may make us stronger.
