Memphis: Juke Joints, Civil Rights, and Soulful Nights
Captures the grit, culture, and evolving spirit of Memphis, blending history, music, and community.

Memphis is more than just the Home of the Blues. It’s one of the most important cities in American history.

From the city’s grit to the attempts for urban renewal, the photographs in this volume explore the city in fresh, exciting ways.
