So much has happened since we, my wife JoNina and myself, moved to  Memphis. We did not know a soul here, and she complained that there was seemingly "nothing to do" as far as activist work. Well, I always say what watch out what you ask for, because you just might get it.  We did a conference last June, called "Let's Organize the Hood: Memphis Black Power Conference", and it has been nonstop ever since. It has especially been busy in the police brutality fightback movement. Over 17 people primarily Black civilians have been killed by Memphis cops since last February, in a number of brutal and highly questionable cases. The cops always claimed "self defense", and it is always hurriedly covered up as "justifiable homicide" by the police, District Attorney, and other members of the judicial establishment. They have killed six people since January 2013, and this police death squad is still at work. The struggle therefore goes on.
