For the record, the preceeding verbiage was satire. You know, what Webster’s calls “the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.” We do that a lot at the Flyer, because, well, if not us, who else in town is going to provide the snark essential to the civic process? I mean, someone has to point out when the emperor is going commando, right?

I mention this, because a cartoon by our illustrator and master of visual snark, Greg Cravens, poked fun at the House of MIM a couple weeks back, and a few of their friends got upset. Some said the Flyer was “attacking” Memphis in May. No. Believe me, if we attack you, you’ll know Studio Gang visual of the proposed water feature it. It was satire, the same in Tom Lee Park. kind of stuff we’ve thrown at MRPP on several occasions. I mean, our Chris Davis was the guy who dubbed them “Mr. PP” in the first place. We’ve also taken shots at Studio Gang’s idyllic bird-infested visuals and the new park signage that’s already been installed. It’s what we do.

But that’s different from our news coverage, which has highlighted the details of the MRPP design and MIM’s concerns with it. We’ve reported extensively and objectively on the battle for public opinion that’s ongoing between the two organizations. See Toby Sells’ story on page 6, for another example.

That said, I’m excited and optimistic about MRPP’s overall plan for the riverfront, which includes renovations of all the city’s public lands along the river, and the linking of Greenbelt Park, Mud Island, the Fourth Bluff, Tom Lee Park, and MLK Park. It’s a big and ambitious design, and because of that, it has drawn fire from several sides.

But the central sticking point is Tom Lee Park, the 30-acre, mile-long, flat, open space now occupied by a few jogging paths and not much else. MRPP’s plan, as most people know by now, involves adding various elevations, a sheltered facility, a water feature, a wildlife habitat, and lots of trees. Memphis in May, understandably, likes the park the way it is, because a big field is much more conducive to its month-long event, which includes a music festival and the World N E WS & O P I N I O N Championship Barbecue Cooking ConTHE FLY-BY - 4 NY TIMES CROSSWORD - 5 test, both of which sprawl over most of POLITICS - 7 the park.

OUR 1566TH ISSUE 02.28.19 Winter is coming, my friends. Dark clouds are building in the western sky. Alliances are being formed. Treachery and connivance are afoot. The battle — soon to come — could be epic and bloody, a mortal combat to see who will control the kingdom of Tom Lee, a vast and glorious prairie on the banks of the majestic Mississippi River near Castle Memphis.

On one side is the Memphis River Parks Partnership (aka Mr. PP), led by Lady Coletta and her powerful allies, including the Great Lord of the House of Hyde, the Downtown Memphis Commission of Great Visions, and the mercenary knights of Studio Gang — brought in from the northern kingdom to wreak havoc on their sworn enemies: the House of MIM. The House of MIM (aka Memphis in May), led by Lord James Holt, is enjoined in this coming battle by the Sacred Alliance of Motels and Hotels, the Viscounts of Beale Street, the Barons of Barbecue, the House of Rock, and probably the Duke of Earl.

In coming days, there will be negotiations held in the chambers of the great High Castle on the Bluff, seeking to avoid bloodshed and form a truce, however uneasy. Emotions are high. Anything could happen. The fate of Tom Lee hangs in the balance, my friends. Thoughts and prayers …

N EVE R E N D I N G E LVI S Fly on the Wall has been spending too much time focusing on actual media news lately and not nearly enough time doing important work like keeping up with the neverending exploits of dead Elvis and his legion of impersonators.

Last week, Fox News reported an incident that allegedly “left a laundromat owner all shook up,” which is the Elvis-y way to say he got really, really scared. According to Fox, a British man, who shares his name with Memphis’ “King of Rock and Roll,” was taken into custody after, “threatening the owner of a laundry care service with a knife.”

In a different key, science writer Judy Siegel-Itzkovich described the stellar system Eta Carinae as “the Elvis Presley of Supernovae,” because it faked its own death, by huge eruption.

M E D IA J U N K What the heck happened to Sinclair Broadcasting?

That’s the conservative giant of TV news once poised to snatch up WREG in an acquisition of Tribune Media, and beam the weird ramblings of Trump cheerleader Boris Epshteyn into more homes than the FCC was comfortable with.

Now that Sinclair’s out and Nextar is acquiring WREG in its purchase of Tribune Media, Sinclair’s once-troubled stock seems to have returned to pre-kerfuffle levels.

Evidently, telling viewers that the U.S. had to gas migrants at the border to stave off invasion fills investors with confidence. But here’s the good news: #NotInMemphis.

O N TH E WR EG Speaking of Channel 3 News, file this WREG report under “nobody needs a meal that bad.”

Dateline, Memphis: “A 29-yearold woman was charged after police say she stabbed another woman in the head over a place in a McDonald’s drive-thru line.” The family said it was self-defense.

CITY REPORTER B y To b y S e l l s

Memphis in May weighs in on Tom Lee Park redesign.

Memphis in May (MIM) officials cited “issues,” “challenges,” and “problems” on the redesign of Tom Lee Park last week and said alternative Downtown sites for the festival next year just wouldn’t work.

The Memphis River Parks Partnership (MRPP) unveiled a new plan for the park last month. It adds hilly contours, built facilities, a basketball court/stage area, trails, trees, and more to the now-wide-open park below the bluff beside the Mississippi River.

Thar redesign was informed by attendance numbers, operational needs, and more given to MRPP by MIM. However, MIM president and CEO Jim Holt said last week his group has not been involved in the design process and wasn’t given plans for how MIM festivals would fit into the park until last week. After a review, Holt said there “there are some issues, there’s some challenges, and there are some problems.”

“With all the trees, and hills, and features … comes with a loss of space,” Holt said last week. “Currently, Tom Lee Park is very flat and flexible, which is great for a festival. You have blank canvas to work with. So, you can move stuff. But with the hills, and trees, and bushes … there will be an impact on where we can place things.”

Holt said a “great deal of minutiae” goes into

planning the Beale Street Music Festival and the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest.

Studio Gang’s test fits of both events (on paper) were detailed down to every person ganged around a music stage, every barbecue tent of varying sizes, tractor trailers going in and out, parking, concessions, operations, and more.

Talks on the design were slated for Tuesday.

Should the groups come to a compromise, MRPP president Coletta said she wants to begin construction of the park in June, right after MIM wrap this year.

Construction would last 18 months. Coletta has said having the festival at the park isn’t off the table, but

she said she’s not sure how it would work.

Last week, MIM officials released a document from the Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC) on six possible alternative locations for MIM in 2020.

“We believe Memphis in May and Downtown Memphis are uniquely and indelibly joined,” reads the DMC document.

“We believe Memphis in May belongs Downtown.”

For other options, the DMC suggested Beale Street, Mud Island, Greenbelt Park, MLK Riverside Park, Georgia Avenue Elementary, and the grassy area north of Tom Lee Park at the corner of I-40 and Riverside Drive.

But MIM said the festival could only really work Downtown at Tom Lee Park, and they hope a phased construction schedule would allow them to host the festival there.

“A cursory review of the sizes and infrastructure of the suggested sites reveals that these simply are not compatible to host our world-class events, and reaffirms our president and CEO Jim Holt’s assertion yesterday that — aside from Tom Lee Park — there are no other sites in Downtown Memphis that can accommodate Memphis in May,” MIM spokesman Robert Griffin said in a statement.

POLITICS By Jackson Baker

Looking Back and Ahead

Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris welcomes 101-year-old former Lemoyne-Owen coach Jerry C. Johnson.

The candidate, who aborted his first Senate run in 2018 to allow former Nashville mayor and Tennessee governor Phil Bredesen to carry the Democratic standard against ultimate Republican winner, Marsha Blackburn, is aware that he will likely face the same sort of negative campaigning as did Bredesen (presumably at the hands of GOP consultant Ward Baker, who takes no prisoners). But, having faced actual, not pretend combat, Mackler figures he can handle it. After the commission meeting, he was the beneficiary of a fund-raiser in Midtown.

With the exception of an unusually complicated election of a new member of the Shelby County School Board to succeed Theresa Jones, now a city court judge, and a few housekeeping measures, Monday’s meeting of the commission concentrated on events and circumstances that tied into Black History Month. Among those honored were the five black women who had formerly served as Shelby County Commissioners. They were: the late Minerva Johnican, Bridget Chisholm, Deidre Malone, Edith Ann Moore, and Henri Brooks — all of whom, or their family members in their stead, were presented plaques in honor of their service.

Next to be recognized was Jerry C. Johnson, the 101-year-old former basketball coach, for 46 years, of LeMoyne-Owen College. Johnson entertained attendees with reminiscences involving former broadcaster/city councilman Myron Lowery, during his time as a player.

There was also a proclamation extolling the historical figure, Robert R. Church Sr., for “his heroism in the face of adversity, his business acumen, political savvy, philanthropy, and enduring contributions to Memphis and Shelby County.”

The election of a new school board member underwent considerable delay as one contender, Tyree Daniels, went through an elongated back-and-forth with commissioners about the issue of whether his residence was in the district he sought to represent. The discussion grew thorny as Daniels opened up more questions about his actual residence than he was able to resolve.

Ultimately, he withdrew, and the new school board member selected was Althea Green, a pastor and retired teacher who had obvious backing from educators attending the meeting.

James Mackler, the once and future Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, was on hand for the beginning of Monday’s meeting of the Shelby County Commission and, having been asked to open the session, presided over the pledge of allegiance to the flag with the same clarion command voice he must have been accustomed to as a member of American military effort in Afghanistan, where he was a helicopter pilot.

Mackler, a Nashville attorney, was making his second appearance in Memphis within a month, having assured the members of the Germantown Democratic Club in late January that he intended to run in earnest in 2020 for the seat being vacated by the quasi-moderate Republican Senator Lamar Alexander — and that he would not spare the person of President Donald Trump in the process.

Either definition might describe the first bill of Lamar’s to be introduced and heard in committee last week.

HB17, which is inspired by the Cyntoia Brown case, would, in the language of its caption, establish “a presumption that a minor who is the victim of a sexual offense or engaged in prostitution using force intended or likely to cause death or serious bodily injury is presumed to have held a reasonable belief that the use of force is immediately necessary to avoid imminent death or serious bodily injury.”

Until her sentence was commuted in January by outgoing Governor Bill Haslam, Brown had been serving a sentence of 51 years in the Tennessee Prison for Women in Nashville for first-degree murder, felony murder, and aggravated robbery. Brown’s crime was committed when she was 15; she shot a john in the back of the head at a time when she was under the control of a pimp whose street name was Kut-Throat. When tried for the crime, Brown maintained that she had feared for her life.

Before Lamar’s bill was heard in the criminal justice subcommittee of House Judiciary on Wednesday, she, her Senate co-sponsor Brenda Gilmore (D-Nashville), and numerous supporters of the legislation held a press conference on the measure in a packed room in the Cordell Hull Building. It was a reminder of the notoriety of the Brown case, and the reality that it had become a cause celebre, related to the issue — a prevailing one on Capitol Hill these days — of criminal justice reform.

Certainly there was a tone of appreciative gallantry toward Lamar

and her legislation — both in a motion

by Representative Michael Curcio (R-Dickson) to send the bill to summer study and in courtesy remarks by committee member William Lamberth (R-Portland), the House majority Leader.

They and other members of the subcommittee heaped flattering remarks on Lamar — words that were strangely out of sync with the unanimous voice vote in favor of Curcio’s motion. As often as not, “summer study” is a destination for legislation on its way to oblivion, a fact well known to Lamar’s fellow Memphian, Representative Antonio Parkinson, who expressed a concern that the bill was being shunted, as he put it, toward “the abyss of summer study.”

With the exception of a few housekeeping measures, Monday’s meeting of the commission concentrated on events and circumstances that tied into Black History Month.

But Parkinson was told that such was not the case — that, as both Curcio and Lamberth stated, there were just some “language problems” that needed to be worked out. The bill addresses “a real issue,” said Lamberth, maintaining that the measure would most surely be taken seriously. In fact, more than a few meritorious bills have in fact undergone serious study over the summer and gone on to be passed.

If that should be the case, the bill might re-emerge with fresh laurels at about the same time that Brown is scheduled to leave prison, on August 7th.

The Color of Politics

The new multi-racial and female members of Congress are getting under the Republicans’ skin.

The new House majority includes a record number of freshman Democratic congresswomen.

That drew a response from Georgia’s Stacey Abrams, the first black woman nominated by a major party to run for governor. Writing in Foreign Affairs, Abrams pleaded guilty to having “intentionally and vigorously highlighted communities of color and other marginalized groups, not to the exclusion of others but as a recognition of their specific policy needs.” Abrams concluded that new “noisy voices represent the strongest tool to manage the growing pains of multicultural coexistence.

By embracing identity and its prickly, uncomfortable contours, Americans will become more likely to grow as one.”

Abrams did not mention Trump. But he regularly uses white identity politics to stir up his base. It can be seen in his attack on Mexicans as rapists and his denigration of “shithole countries.” And who can forget Trump’s false and repeated insinuation that President Obama was not born in the United States? That racist conspiracy theory was the springboard for Trump’s presidential run. What we see in Trump’s fear of women of color is resistance to the rapid rise of racial change in our politics.

color are now serving in the House.

Only one non-white congresswoman is a Republican — Representative Jaime Herrera Beutler, who was reelected in Washington state. The record number includes 22 black women, 11 Latinas, six Asian-Pacific Islanders, and the first two Native American women in Congress. It also brought to Congress the first two Muslim women: Omar and Representative Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.

Last month, Tlaib told an excited crowd of liberal activists: “We’re gonna impeach the motherf****r” — referring to Trump. In that moment, she joined Ocasio-Cortez as a target of right-wing hate.

The New York Times reported last week that Republicans have “amped up” their efforts to demonize these young Democratic women. The most frequent charge against the newcomers from Trump’s conservative talk radio fans is that these women of color are dividing the country with “identity politics.”

NEWS & OPINION

It was one of those unforgettable moments in Congress. Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, a new member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was speaking to Elliott Abrams, President Trump’s special envoy to Venezuela: “Mr. Abrams, in 1991 you pleaded guilty to two counts of withholding information from Congress regarding the Iran-Contra affair … I fail to understand why members of this committee or the American people should find any testimony that you give today to be truthful.”

“If I could respond to that —” Abrams interjected.

“It wasn’t a question,” Omar shot back, cutting off the witness.

The sight of a young Muslim congresswoman, wearing a hijab, holding a powerful 71-year-old white Republican accountable signals the dawn of a new day in American politics. The heavily white, older male party of Trump is fighting to hold back what they see coming over the horizon.

Many people — including me — have been targets of President Trump’s Twitter tirades, but women of color provoke a special kind of Trump ire. Trump last month dismissed Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with a wave of the hand and a “who cares,” after she told CBS’ 60 Minutes she has “no question” that Trump makes use of the “historic dog whistles of white supremacy.” Trump has been even more dismissive of other women of color.

A “lowlife” and a “dog.” That’s Trump talking about his former White House aide, Omarosa Manigault Newman.

Representative Frederica Wilson of Florida? Trump demeaned her as “wacky” and said she was “killing” the Democratic Party. Former Utah Republican Congresswoman Mia Love? Right after her failed reelection bid, Trump said she “gave me no love and she lost. Too bad.

Sorry about that, Mia.” House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters has been described by Trump as “an extraordinarily low IQ person.”

Imagine the bitter attacks if Trump faces a strong woman of color, such as Senator Kamala Harris, in the 2020 election.

The Democrats’ success in the midterms set off these unsettling changes in American politics for Trump and his base. The new House majority includes a record number of freshman Democratic congresswomen. In fact, 43 women of

…

“To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.”

— Hermann Hesse

S

teve Masler, anthropologist and manager of exhibits at the Pink Palace Museum, would no doubt agree with this quote. In fact, he told me as much when I spoke to him about the museum’s grand exhibit, “Making Memphis: 200 Years of Community,” running from March 2nd to October 20th. “My feeling is that the exhibit’s design is an integral part of how you interpret it. It’s organized chaos, which is purposeful, because that is really the way that history works.”

Indeed, visitors to the exhibit should 10 prepare themselves for total immersion in the images, artifacts, and sounds of the city.

And its words. Let it be known that the Pink Palace has the biggest words — some up to six feet high. The exhibit team’s exhaustive community outreach program through 2018 elicited the words people most associate with the city, translated those into word clouds, and then made the word clouds larger than life with 3D sculptures of the most popular ones.

“So when you walk in through these words, you see what current-day people have said Memphis means to them,” Masler explains. “Then you go into the room, which is full of things. Five thematic areas, or pods, and 10 chronological monoliths. And they’re all tied together with colored threads. Each of the five theme-pods has a color, sending out four threads to the other pods, and with threads of different colors coming in from the others. So overhead will be this web, and that’s what the story really is: This intertwined, complicated web of things.

If you follow them, they go to certain specific points in the other pods.”

Caroline Carrico, supervisor of exhibits, chimes in: “The idea being, what makes Memphis today is the intersections of all these different stories, these different lines of thought. Our themes are Art and Entertainment, Commerce and Entrepreneurialism, Heritage and Identity, Migration and Settlement, and Geography and the Environment. So things come up

in different places. For example, when we were putting it together, we’d ask things like, ‘Where are we going to put Robert Church?’” But Church, considered the South’s first African-American millionaire, had his hand in so many facets of the city’s early growth that choosing where to address his legacy was simple, according to coordinating curator Nur Abdalla: “Everywhere.” Carrico explains further, “So there’s not just one place where you read

about Robert Church. You go through the whole exhibit, and find him lots of places.”

This approach, emphasizing the disparate, yet interconnected aspects of the city’s society and environment over time, is not a typical historical presentation. In the beginning, the team looked back at similar retrospectives in the past. “We have a pamphlet from the centennial, in 1919, that talks a lot about [city founders] John

Overton, James Winchester, and Andrew Jackson … and Davy Crockett, who was barely here,” Abdalla says.

Carrico adds, “In the mansion, we actually have the sesquicentennial mural, and it’s very startling when you look at it. It was 1969, the year after MLK’s assassination, and the only African American on there is W.C. Handy, and he’s standing in a cotton field. The Civil War generals take up much more area than that. So we very starkly did not want to do that. We had a really clear picture of what we didn’t want the exhibit to be when we started, but not a predetermined plan of what it would be.”

Abdalla (recently honored in the Flyer’s “20<30” cover story) dove deep into hundreds of sources on Memphis history, distilling their insights for the team, who then collectively developed the focal points of the exhibit. “When you read the stuff that was written in the 1930s, and even the sesquicentennial in ’69, you read a lot about Jackson, Overton, Winchester, and of course they’re important. But they

don’t come up in all our pods. They come up at the beginning. … We also find that every single pod has to talk about race.

Because everything that happened here, just because of the social order, has to do with race.

“Even in the Geography and the Environment pod, race is discussed,” Abdalla elaborates. “We talk about pollution, neighborhoods prone to flooding, the planning of the interstates, which were built through the poorest neighborhoods to split them apart purposely.”

As I spoke with the team, their acute sense of responsibility in curating the city’s history was palpable. As Masler recalls, “Ours is one of the biggest events, if not the biggest event, that’s going on for the [city of Memphis] bicentennial. And we didn’t know that that would be the case. But then we looked into what the city was doing, and it turned out that there wasn’t much, that we know about at least. It’s more spread out. In a way, they see it more as a tourism booster and a community feel-good event.”

Abdalla points out that the Pink Palace’s ambitions aimed higher — and wider. “We are the museum of the history of Memphis and the Mid-South, so there’s no way we were going to tell the stories in ways they’ve already been told. We started out with these huge research documents, these large essays that tie into these themes. And then you have to cut that down in ways that retain those meanings. So the pods and timelines are stepping stones. We’re telling the stories that have always been told, but in different ways, as well as stories that haven’t been touched on in other tellings of Memphis’ story.”

This includes looking at the grimmer aspects of Memphis’ past with eyes wide

V I S I TOR S TO THE E X HI B I T S HOUL D PR E PA R E THE M S E LV E S FOR TOTAL I M M E R S I ON IN THE I M AGE S, AR TI FAC TS , A ND S OUNDS OF THE C I TY.

open. How, I asked, would they confront the city’s history of slave trading?

“We talk about it in various places when it comes up,” says Carrico. “But we confront it in depth in our Commerce and Entrepreneurialism pod, where we talk about slaves as merchandise, which was Nur’s suggestion.” Abdalla adds, “And we have a child’s shackles, relating to the text on the pod. So that’s where the artifacts really enrich the meaning.”

Such facts, presented point-blank, speak for themselves, as Masler clarifies. “The slaves were a good that were bought and sold in Memphis. And we were able to talk about the slave dealers in that way. What we say is pretty straightforward. We don’t say ‘and this was slavery, and slavery was bad!’ We say, ‘People were sold and were considered like merchandise.’ And our hope is that people look at that and go ‘Oh, that’s horrible.’”

In some cases, past issues of oppression that live on today are better taken up in the chronological sections, rather than in thematic pods. “We were trying to figure out how to talk about the Confederate statues,” says Carrico, “something that is clearly an issue now, and has a long past.

It turned out that it was best to tell it on the timeline. So you can show when the Civil War happened, then talk about the later Lost Cause mythology and the Nathaniel Bedford Forrest statue. Then, after King’s assassination, we talk about the Jefferson Davis statue. And in the very last section of the timeline, we talk about #takeemdown901. Because the last timeline goes up to the present day.”

As it turned out, representing our current history and its demographic shifts required some creative thinking. “We have continued on page 12

continued from page 11 an amazing collection here, but recent communities were more of a challenge.

We didn’t want to just make it black and white. We’ve had a Chinese community here since the mid-19th century, and the Chinese Historical Society was great, because they’re a historical organization.

But when we tried to collect from the Latino community, it was harder than we were expecting. Then, through a personal connection with a mom’s group, of all things, we were able to get a tortilla press and some indigenous instruments. Or, we realized we weren’t representing punk and women in music. So we found a Klitz artifact through Steve’s friend Marcia Clifton Faulhaber. It’s not always the organizations that you think are the best sources for a community. You have to work your relationships in different ways.”

Abdalla notes a positive side to these unorthodox methods: “Yes, the artifacts are a bit of a challenge, but also an opportunity, because now we’re developing connections with these new groups of people to build up our permanent collection in the future.

This is what happens when you go out asking people for things.”

Though the team’s exhibit planning appears to have unfolded in classic Memphis style, relying on friends and friends of friends, it also embodies some cutting-edge thinking in museum design. As Masler explains, “In the museum world, there’s a lot of thought going into what community involvement really means. With our exhibit — and we have never designed and built from scratch, in house, an exhibit this complicated — the word cloud you enter through is totally done by what people said.”

To that end, nearly 30 pop-up events were held last year, either at the museum itself or in different communities, where people could note what Memphis meant to them, and, if they wished, be photographed and even recorded on audio.

“Part of the whole thing was community input and inclusiveness,” Masler goes on.

“So we did these different word clouds at different times of the year, different locations, different aged people. Different neighborhoods. Each one has its own character. Caroline’s idea was to lay them out on a map, so you could see that at this particular date, this particular place, these people said these were their words. Across the city as a whole, the most common word people said was ‘Home.’”

“And then,” Carrico adds, “we took these events that Nur was taking out into the community, and designed them into the exhibit in a seamless way. It was part of the design from the beginning. We didn’t want to ask their opinion and then just slap it on at the end.” Thus, a mural of those who agreed to be photographed will cover one wall, and a “community curated” display case will feature an iPad where visitors can vote on what will be displayed from month to month. “I think we’re starting with the Prince Mongo poster,”

Abdalla notes with a mischievous grin.

Young Memphians have built one corner of the exhibit. “The education department’s installing these decorated lockers on one wall. We worked with different schools around the city to make lockers designed around the themes of the exhibit. … And the top three exhibits from each category will be featured.” In addition, a special day of free admission on March 3rd will feature performers, and at the end of the month, the Pink Palace will host a symposium on women’s suffrage as part of a series tied to next year’s centennial celebration of that watershed moment.

The most intense community involvement may be in the exhibit’s presentation of the city’s future. Not only will visitors see a “Trace Your Memphis Journey” display, where they create their own connections between themes using actual thread, they’ll see what the city has in store for us in the years to come. As Carrico explains, “At one point, we were struggling with how to end the exhibit. And that’s when the idea came up to incorporate Memphis 3.0 and the city planning process into it. So if you follow the timeline, toward the end, you’ll end up with a display on the Memphis 3.0 Plan, looking at how that planning process is impacting where we’re going forward.”

And, at the behest of the UrbanArt Commission, two artists from the Memphis 3.0 community engagement process, Yancy Villa-Calvo and myself, will have work presented. From 2017-18, Villa-Calvo staged many pop-up events with a large, graphic map of the city, on which people could mark their favorite places, and even record vignettes about themselves. My project, dubbed ReMix Memphis, hosted similar events, all concerning people’s reactions to the sounds of the city. For this, Pink Palace visitors will be treated to a large video game console on which they can play sounds familiar to all Memphians, including trains, tornado sirens, and cicadas. And, in the spirit of the word clouds, they can note what sounds they associate with the city and drop their card in a slot.

Simultaneously with the exhibit’s opening, a SoundCloud link will present original works by Memphis musicians like IMAKEMADBEATS, cellist Jonathan Kirkscey, and others, who added music to ReMix Memphis field recordings, to create an eerie sonic journey through the city via 16 original tracks.

This, then was the perfect finale for the ambitious, cutting-edge exhibit. As Abdalla says, “I think it’s great that we’re a part of continuing that process that Memphis 3.0 started, like collecting the sounds, or Yancy’s asset mapping. It’s that continual message of, ‘Hey, this is not ending. The Memphis 3.0 district meetings may be over, but this is still something ongoing.’ It’s a great way to end everything.” Carrico adds, “Our hope is that anybody who comes in will see something that is powerful to them. Be it a picture or an artifact, they can see themselves in the story.”

The Tigers’ coach says some things worth remembering.

• “Everything magnifies on the road.”

Hardaway said this, somewhat ironically, after the Tigers’ home win over UCF on January 27th. But 20 days after beating the Knights by 20 on their home court, the Tigers lost to the same team, 79-72, in Orlando. They were run off the floor in the first half at Tulsa before outscoring the Golden Hurricane in the second half of a 16-point loss. Then there was the trip to USF when the Tigers spotted the Bulls a 27-1(!) lead before Jeremiah Martin’s 41-point second half almost dodged defeat. To date, the Tigers are 4-9 away from FedExForum (3-6 in opponents’ buildings). This has to change before any discussions of a nationally ranked team begin.

• “As far as our players, you can’t put toughness in someone. You have to go out and battle.” You want to climb a Hardaway nerve? Talk to him with the Cincinnati Bearcats nearby. The program that tormented Hardaway as a player is now a standard for him to match as a head coach. A five-point loss to the 25th-ranked team in the country (on February 7th) is no embarrassment. But it’s one of five Tiger losses (with no wins) against ranked teams this season. In last week’s win over Tulane, Hardaway saw self-doubt in Lomax (a player who has grown

• “Last year was not who we were [as a program]. We’re headed in the right direction. We’re going to higher places, and we’ll be there sooner than later.”

Hardaway was emboldened by his team playing third-ranked Tennessee even (87-87) after falling behind, 15-5. If there was a “moral victory” this season, it came on December 15th. Tennessee brought size, muscle, and big-game experience to FedExForum, and if you ignore the game’s first five minutes, the Tigers didn’t flinch. This series and other interconference rivalry games are on the way back, which will indeed take Memphis basketball to higher places.

• “I’m gonna try and stay even-keeled, and not get too animated.” Hardaway explained why he stood for the entire game after the Tigers’ season-opening win over Tennessee Tech. It’s his “thinking pose.” And Hardaway has blocked much of my view from press row ever since. He’s yet to pick up a technical foul. And he’s yet to call an official by name (a John Calipari specialty), preferring the universal “ref.” With memories of Calipari and the emotive Josh Pastner still vivid, Hardaway’s sideline demeanor has transformed the presentation of Memphis basketball.

• “You can’t come to practice half-assed, going through the motions. We’re trying to get better. How you practice is how you play.” This remark came after the Tigers’ win over East Carolina on January 10th. (I’d never call a crowd “half-assed,” but this was among the sleepiest of the season at FedExForum.) Hardaway has had three talented freshmen — Tyler Harris, Alex Lomax, and Antwann Jones — in his rotation since the first game of the season, and they’ve brought as much frustration as delight. On this night, he replaced Harris and Jones in the starting lineup with seniors Kareem Brewton and Kyvon Davenport. Harris came off the bench and scored 16 points and Jones added 10.

Taste Memphis

Eat local

By Chris Davis

Entering into its fourth delicious year, Black Restaurant Week founder Cynthia Daniels thinks she’s cooked up the best package yet. With 14 participating restaurants offering lunch and dinner specials, it’s the event’s biggest year so far, and the menu offerings are diverse.

“Six of those have been opened for less than a year,” Daniels says, appealing to adventurous foodies looking to go on a tasting tour. Over the course of Black Restaurant Week, diners visit the participating restaurants of their choice and receive a deal on select items. “It’s a limited menu,” she explains. “You have a lunch special with two items for $15, and dinner specials are going to be three items for $25.”

This year’s featured restaurants include Sage, the historic Four Way Grill, Bluff City Crab, and Ballhoggerz BBQ. In that sampling alone, regular menu items range from turkey and dressing to salmon sliders and braised short ribs. “And we’re not just in Midtown and Downtown,” Daniels says. “We’ve got restaurants in South Memphis, North Memphis, East Memphis, and Cordova.” Other participating eateries include The Office@Uptown, G. Alston: The Restaurant, Chef Tam’s Underground Cafe, and Two Vegan Sisters.

“Also, Black Restaurant Week is for everybody,” Daniels says, to make sure there’s no confusion in the name of a profileraising event for minority businesses and an opportunity to spotlight new spots and local treasures. “I think sometimes people might see ‘black’ and think ‘Oh, I have to be black to be part of it.’ But it actually helps diversify the restaurants.

It’s really exciting when we see all ethnicities.”

Bubblelandia

Effervescence

By Chris Davis “Bubbles have, in general, a very magical power,” Underwater Bubble Show co-creator Dace Pecolli says, describing her multifaceted circus-inspired show as “a lucky hand.”

“I’ve done shows in 59 different countries and met millions and millions of people,” she says. “And I have never met anybody who doesn’t like bubbles. Bubbles give you this joy when you look at them. You forget troubles and tasks to do, and it comes out automatically somehow.”

B — Underwater Bubble Show is an interactive, multimedia spectacle, taking audiences to the fantasy world of Bubblelandia, using a mix of stage magic, special effects, and variety performance. It tells the story of B, who’s unhappy in his too-busy world and dreams of life in a fishbowl.

“If you want to see it more deeply, [the main character] B stops time and looks in himself, and discovers all the beauty and happiness that was there all along,” Pecolli says. “But if we want to see lightly, he is daydreaming. It is why some people in offices keep aquariums.

“When we see the red fish flying, it gives us calm and joyful feelings,” Pecolli says, describing the show’s environmental effects.

“And everyone will find something different. We have magic, juggling, contortionists, ariel artists, sand painting, and lasers.”

And soap bubbles. Lots and lots of soap bubbles.

“Each of the acts is only three or four minutes long,” Pecolli adds, trying to capture the contradictory nature of a fast-paced show designed to slow everybody down.

“I love Doug Easley’s work. I used to live with Mark Ibold, the bass player for Pavement,” he says. “So I was listening to the records Doug and Davis McCain were making, and I realized Sonic Youth and Jon Spencer and all these guys were going to Memphis. I loved Doug’s work from afar. I feel like he put Memphis back on map, for my generation. So he was really important to me. I feel lucky to call him a friend.”

Now McEwen hopes to bring his long list of clients, including J.D. McPherson, to Memphis with him.

Like him, they tend to favor the indie/ Americana side of things and have a taste for the richer sounds of analog and tube gear. He likes to point out that their primary board, a Sphere, “was the Grand Ole Opry’s mixing board, in the 1970s.” And Suffolk, for his part, harks back to the original glory days of analog studios, when the revolution on the horizon was not digital, but solid state electronics.

At 19, he was hired as the “tea boy” at London’s Pye Recording Studios.

“The first session I did was bringing in

Scott McEwen and Bob Suffolk

tea for the Kinks. I remember I walked into Studio 1 with a tray of tea, and they were tracking. Ray Davies was on the harpsichord, and he looked up and stopped, and all the people in the upper booth looked at me and motioned, ‘Come up here.’ And I thought, ‘Oh, God, I’m such a bastard.’ And to this day, I’m still the tea boy. Tea boy and studio design.”

A lucky break gave him the chance to renovate London’s famous Trident Studios in the 1980s, and from there he’s worked on many such facilities.

Now, as he and McEwen open up for business, they’re looking to bring more of that big studio sound to Memphis — and tea as well.

ALEX GREENE

CHOICE

his week marks a watershed moment in the local studio scene: On Monday, the owners of the new Memphis Magnetic Recording Company discovered that their freshly renovated building on Vance Avenue, near Downtown, had passed inspection and was ready for business. It’s news that many on the Memphis music scene have anticipated for some time. Producer/ engineer Scott McEwen and studio designer Bob Suffolk have been working on the space for over a year and half, and, due to their past track records and known love of vintage gear, forging friendships and raising eyebrows all over town.

Suffolk, who’s lived in Dallas for many years, plans on relocating to the Bluff City.

“Our tracking room’s huge. All the bands from Dallas — and we’ve got some great bands there — they just go to work in Nashville,” Suffolk says. “I keep telling the bands, ‘Stop driving through Memphis!

Turn off, come see us. Stop driving to bloody Nashville!’” Indeed, the studio owners hope to add to the growing profile of Memphis as a recording destination in its own right, and their aesthetic fits right in with the existing, sometimes legendary facilities here.

“Our studio is brand-spanking new, although it’s done in what I call a purpose-built vintage style,” Suffolk says. “It’s all analog, though it has ProTools if needed, and it’s huge. It’s a performance tracking room. And with a vocal booth and a lounge. We hope to help bring Memphis to life again, because there are so many great musicians here. And so far we’ve had a tremendous response from a lot of people in the city. Scott and I just stuck our necks out. When I first saw this raggedy old building on Vance, I thought ‘Oh, dear.’ It was built in 1927. It’s been empty since 1954, and it was full of vagrants and all sorts of crap. It was nasty.

We started from scratch. Self Tucker, the architects, have been helping us.”

Walking into the space does feel like a step back into the past, and it’s not just because of the decor. Over the past 20 years, McEwen has made a name for himself at his Nashville facility, Fry Pharmacy, where he’s been amassing vintage gear and perfecting his analog recording chops. But, feeling the pinch of rising costs there, he’s throwing in his lot with Memphis, a city that has loomed large in McEwen’s imagination since the 1990s.

T

he child is dead.

There is nothing left to know.”

So begins Black Leopard, Red Wolf (Riverhead Books), the fourth novel by Marlon James, the Jamaican author who won the Man Booker Prize in 2015 for his A Brief History of Seven Killings. The speaker is Tracker, Black Leopard’s narrator, a mercenary with a nose, known for his ability to track anyone anywhere, once he has their scent. Tracker’s gift lands him a deceptively simple job when the Moon Witch Sogolon needs to find a missing child, a boy without a name but not lacking in importance.

Working for a third party, Sogolon assembles a fellowship to locate and return the stolen boy. At the outset, their ever-shifting party includes the wolf-eyed, keennosed mercenary Tracker; Leopard, a shapeshifting jungle cat; and Sadogo, a melancholy giant. And though Sogolon’s fellowship is strange, still stranger things await them.

Hallucinogenic and magical, the pages of Black Leopard, the first novel in a proposed trilogy, are populated by witches, monsters, and fantastical beasts. There’s the flesheater, Asanbonsam, and his brother, the bat-like, blood-sucking Sasabonsam.

And Ipundulu, the vampiric lightning bird, whose victims — those who live — become his slaves, beguiled by his charge.

And every person Tracker meets could be a shapeshifter, a man-eating lion or hyena taking the form of a human. Tracker’s all-powerful nose becomes invaluable in James’ land of shifting allegiances and layered narratives.

Tracker comes from one of the river tribes, though he claims no home and no family. He is a lover of men in a world where it is dangerous to be so, and a nonbeliever in a world of dozens of religions.

“I don’t believe in belief,” Tracker says again and again. And the question is, how could he afford the luxury of certainty, in a world so defined by its history, but a his-

tory always partially obscured? In James’ novel, history is a black hole, invisible, hidden, but with an inescapable gravitational pull, warping reality around itself.

The wolf-eyed mercenary is a trickster detective — and a fitting narrator for James’ tale of a missing boy, a hidden history, and an uneasy fellowship. For truth, as much as the child, is what’s missing in the world of Black Leopard, Red Wolf.

The story takes place at a turning point in a mythical Africa, infinitely diverse and complex, with many cultures represented, each with its own values and beliefs. It’s the end of the age of the oral historians, who sang the history of the land, and though glyphs are old news, it is the beginning of the time of phonetic writing.

James has created a world whose history is informed by our own, even while it underscores the changing ways we look at truth in our digital age.

In an interview with The New Yorker, James said he studied African folklore and mythology, in its myriads forms, for two years before beginning the novel, and his research shows on every page. The world of Black Leopard is made up of dozens of interlocking and often conflicting narratives.

With both the novel’s prose and plot, James confronts the whitewashing of history — and of the fantasy and science-fiction genres, specifically. Much of the novel’s intrigue revolves around the co-opting of history by the Spider King Kwash Dawa’s royal ancestor, who, in a violent coup, not only departed from his peoples’ traditions, but erased them. He had the storytellers killed, and within a few generations, history was what the king said. Or at least, that’s what Tracker has been told.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf asks its readers to confront their beliefs, as with every discovery, Tracker calls into question what he has been told so far — and what he has deigned to pass on to the reader. And with intrigue that deep, there’s nothing left to do but cozy up and enjoy the mystery.

Because the truth is, in James’ novel as in life, we may never know the whole truth.

Grind City Coffee Expo set for March 9th; plus Comeback Coffee and Vice & Virtue.

JUSTIN FOX BURKS

Wee beginning roasters often start with an air popper (meant for popcorn) to roast their first beans. Tim and Teri Perkins of Vice & Virtue Coffee did and quickly moved on to a whirley pop, trading up to better equipment as their knowledge grew. They are currently working out of a space on

Daniel Lynn (left) and Rachel Williams, organizers of the Grind City Coffee Expo

Hollywood with a commercial roaster and hope to eventually open a small shop of their own. Their coffees are currently available at Curb Market, Cooper-Young Community Farmers Market, Belltower Artisans, City Silo, the Grecian Gourmet Taverna, and at the roastery.

Tim calls this a passion project, but this is an obsession of a Fatal Attraction variety. They travel to conferences, take classes. They talk, talk, talk coffee and never get sick of it. They caught the fever when they heard their first bean crack.

On the name, it involves Aristotle, the human condition, good versus evil.

“It appealed to us,” says Tim. “I’m vice, she’s virtue.”

Tim points out that the “v” in the logo is actually a martini glass, which points to the notion of craft coffee moving into the craft cocktail space and the Perkinses’ plan to serve coffee cocktails one day.

The Perkinses say they’ve enjoyed learning about different beans from different countries, experimenting with coffee, and coaxing out the best flavors.

“We know what we’re doing, but we can get better,” says Teri.

At the expo, Tim plans to walk guests through the roasting process, having them immerse themselves in the sensory experience. Like the McPhersons, the Perkinses say the expo is a long time coming and that Memphis’ coffee community has thus far been underserved.

“It’s a craft,” says Tim. “It’s an artform.”

Vice & Virtue offers cuppings on the first Friday of the month, from 6:30-8 p.m., at the Hollywood roastery, in conjunction with Broad Avenue First Friday. The next cupping is March 1st and will have a March Madness theme, where tasters are put to the test.

Cost is $5.

Comeback Coffee, set to open in Uptown March 29th, has a lighted sign on the wall that reads, “Stay a while,” and they mean it. Comeback is owned by Hayes and Amy McPherson.

Hayes marvels at the variety of potential customers. You’ve got your Uptowners, your St. Juders, North Memphians, Mud Islanders, and so on. “All those people can rub

shoulders,” he says.

Hayes vows that Comeback will be quick and consistent. He plans on a little quality pushing. What this means is that there are no fancy pour-overs; drinks will be made by machine but from the finest sources. Folks can “sit and be,” he says. Plus, price points will be reasonable.

There will be classic coffee drinks as well as seasonal and specialty drinks such as mochas. A giant espresso machine sits on the counter just waiting to hit customers with a caffeine buzz. In addition, a menu, designed by noted local chef Cole Jeanes, will feature pastries, sandwiches, and toasts.

Comeback is in a pretty, old building on North Main. There is exposed brick and large windows on the west side.

The McPhersons, who live upstairs, had taken note of the building, fantasizing what they could do with the space.

Amy’s father is in commercial real estate. He had, on his own, taken interest in the building as well. The two sides compared notes and decided it was meant to be.

Hayes says he’s excited about the upcoming expo. “We’ve needed this for a long time,” he says. “We on the cusp of a coffee culture.”

s Memphis in a coffee renaissance? It may be too soon to tell. But something certainly is, ahem, brewing. For proof, look to all the third wave places like Launch Process and Low Fi popping up. Our next piece of evidence is the Grind City Coffee Expo, set for March 9th at Memphis College of Art. Daniel Lynn and Rachel Williams are the event’s organizers. “It’s a way to bring Memphis coffee [purveyors] together under a neutral roof,” says Lynn. “And it’s a way to expose Memphians to what [these purveyors] have to offer.”

Guests will be given a tasting card and a five-ounce tasting mug to sample coffees from the nine vendors who will be at the event. The vendors include: Dr. Bean, Vice & Virtue, Comeback Coffee, The Avenue, Awal Coffee, The Hub, Reverb, Launch Process, and French Truck. Each, in turn, will offer something special for the show. Vice & Virtue is bringing a mini-roaster and guests can roast their own beans.

Comeback Coffee will have coffee sodas(!).

Lynn says he was inspired to create the expo after attending the Science of Beer event, though he acknowledges “coffee’s more of my speed.” Lynn notes that he’s learned a lot from setting up the expo. For example, “spro” is short for espresso.

“Coffee is almost like a plate of barbecue,” says Lynn. “It’s something you can bond over.”

Tickets are $30, with proceeds going to Protect Our Aquifer.

In the “Perfect Pour” division, Wiseacre’s Tiny Bomb lager beat out another top seed from last year, High Cotton’s Thai Pale Ale, making it to the third round, where it was voted out, losing to Memphis Made’s Fireside, a malty roasted Red Ale. In the “Drafted” division, Meddlesome continued its winning streak, as its Broad Hammer American Brown Ale edged out Memphis Made’s Cat Nap IPA. Broad Hammer then went on to beat out Crosstown’s Siren Blonde Ale in the next round and, then, finally, steal a win over Wiseacre’s Regular Pale Ale to make the Final Four.

Over in the “Frosty Mug” division, Wiseacre’s coffee stout (and nearly guaranteed hangover cure) Gotta Get Up to Get Down, beat out Plaid Attack Scotch Ale, another perennial favorite from Memphis Made.

Gotta Get Up was beaten in the next round by this year’s Cinderella story, Meddlesome’s Brass Bellows, a great blonde ale. For the record, Brass Bellows had some fearsome competition from long-time favorite Ghost River Gold, followed by a close contest with High Cotton’s Mexican Lager, a sort of cosmic ideal of Corona.

The Beer Bracket Final Four for 2019: 201 Hoplar, Broad Hammer, Brass Bellows, and Fireside. The big winner in the tourney has been Meddlesome Brewing. If not exactly the new kid in class, they are certainly not the old guard either. Their tap room, out near the end of Shelby Farms, might be a bit out of the loop, but their beers are hard to ignore.

Final Four voting ended at press time. We know that Meddlesome will take home our Beer Bracket Challenge Cup. But to find out which beer won, you’ll have to check next week’s Flyer.

T

he whole thing started a few years ago, when Flyer associate editor Toby Sells blindfolded himself to pick the match-ups for the Flyer’s first Beer Bracket Challenge. It was all kind of a goof that first year, replete with a “trophy” made from an old ice bucket that editor Bruce VanWyngarden found in his garage.

Now, the Beer Bracket Challenge has morphed into a lineup of 24 local beers from five breweries going toeto-toe against each other for votes from Flyer readers. It is a friendly competition, but it is a competition — and these Memphis beer gurus want to win.

For the more casual craft beer fan, the Beer Bracket Challenge, assisted by some delicious pizza at Aldo’s Pizza Downtown, where this year’s seeding ceremony took place, is one of the best ways to take the aimlessness out of your tour of the booming Memphis craft beer scene.

Sure it’s fun to simply toss a ball idly into the air on a lazy day, but sinking it through the hoop when there is a mob trying to stop you is just more fun.

There are four divisions in the challenge. The “Tapped Out” division was seeded with two big winners from last year, Meddlesome’s 201 Hoplar and one of my long time go-tos, Wiseacre’s Ananda — two IPA heavyweights in a town that loves its IPAs. In the first round of voting, 201 Hoplar beat out Midnight Magic, a German Black Ale from Memphis OB (Original Brewer) Ghost River. Ananda lost out to another Meddlesome entrant, Dirty Dova. This was a little surprising, but as beers go, Dirty Dova, a crisp and refreshing double IPA, is a winner. In fact, it may go down a little too easy; its 8.5 percent ABV makes it a brew on a

FILM REVIEW By Chris McCoy

Monster Manual Childhood heroes grow up in How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

I

f you keep telling stories about the same characters, eventually you’re going to end up buried under your own lore. This can be frustrating for a writer. Just ask Arthur Conan Doyle, who, after several dozen stories and novels, tried to retire Sherlock Holmes by tossing him off a waterfall. (It didn’t work, of course.

Doyle brought Holmes back from the watery grave eight years later.)

As everyone from Doyle to the Star Trek writers have learned, you either end up ignoring your characters’ past or letting it inform their growth.

There’s a big temptation to just hit the reset button, so we can watch our unchanging heroes overcome the same adversity, only this time with a bigger special effects budget. But that’s not why we tell stories. Our heroes should grow and change with us — especially childhood heroes.

I’m not sure animator Dean DeBlois thought he was going to be fleshing out the life story of Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III when he and co-director Chris Sanders created How to Train Your Dragon for DreamWorks Animation in 2010. If he had, they probably would have rethought the names. It’s been

nine years. Shouldn’t we know how to train these darn things by now? Does the third installment, The Hidden World, introduce advanced dragon training techniques?

Turns out, yes, it kind of does.

Instead of just thinking up some new, wacky adventures for Hiccup and his dragon Toothless to get up to, DeBlois (who has sole writing credit, a rarity for one of these monster productions) lets the consequences of the last film sink in. Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel), who started off as a bumbling weakling in need of draconic pedagogy, has now ascended to the chiefdom of the wacky Viking village of Berk. Toothless, the dragon he tamed instead of killing as a child, has also ascended leadership, to become the alpha dragon of the growing colony at Berk.

The film begins with a visual flourish as a fleet of great, dark ships emerge from a pea soup fog. It’s a very Game of Thrones image that telegraphs this film’s more mature attitude. Hiccup and his crew, including Astrid (America Ferrera), Gobber (Craig Ferguson), and Snotlout (Jonah Hill), swoop down from the

A kingly Hiccup rides Toothless in Dean DeBlois’ How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.

night to rescue a load of dragons from draconic traffickers bent on building a fire-breathing army.

At first glance, the idyllic village of colorful, soaring dragon perches and jolly, vaguely Scandinavian huts seems to be a happy land.

(Potential dragon dung issues are not addressed.)

But Hiccup struggles to maintain the peace he won between beasts and humans, and the outside world is increasingly suspicious of the dragonriders. The evil Warlord slavers hire Grimmel (F. Murray Abraham), an infamous hunter of Dark Furies like Toothless, to rid them of the troublesome alpha, thus leaving Berk defenseless, and their cages full. To complete the parallel stories of young chief and young dragon king, Grimmel uses a captive female Light Fury to

animators instead put their energy into a wordless sequence where Toothless tries to woo Light Fury with a dragon mating dance, with Hiccup playing silent Cyrano in the bushes.

It’s a beautiful sequence that references Fantasia — and kind of a daring move for a genre that is obsessed with forward motion to keep the kids’ attention.

lure Toothless into a trap, just as Hiccup and Astrid are facing pressure from the tribe to tie the knot. Under the threat of imminent invasion, Hiccup and Toothless lead a search for the legendary hidden homeland of the dragons, where they hope to find safe haven.

When a hero gets made king, it’s usually just a reward for the end of the story. It’s not often that we get to see those heroes go on to make hard, kingly choices. For a film where the character designs teeter on the edge of the uncanny valley, DeBlois treats his hero more like Jon Snow than a guy named Hiccup. There’s still some wacky moments with Snotlout and Gobber, but the film’s heart really isn’t in the kiddie comedy this time around. DeBlois and the DreamWorks

TH E LAST WO R D by Aylen Mercado

Acknowledging Anti-Blackness Anti-blackness in Latinx communities is rooted in white supremacy. Recognizing that marginalized people participate in anti-blackness is sometimes a hard concept for folks to accept.

While we know, or at least should know by now, that our entire society participates in anti-blackness through various sociopolitical and economic ways, it can be especially difficult for people that come from histories of oppression to accept or even understand how they repeat patterns of oppression.

In dominant narratives of the U.S., we rarely learn about the intersections of black and Latinx histories, much less global histories. Because of this, we aren’t able to connect how legacies of colonialism then create white supremacy and reinforce whiteness as the dominant power across racial and ethnic lines.

It’s important that we expand our thinking around race and ethnicity for several reasons. For one, connecting to a global history of race can help us see that racism and racist structures extend beyond the U.S. We can also begin to understand how those histories relate to the marginalization of people today.

In a PBS Q&A about his documentary film, Black in Latin America, Dr. Henry Louis Gates, a Harvard University professor of African and African-American Studies, drops some truth about black history in the Americas.

He explains that of the “11.2 million Africans that we can count who survived the Middle Passage and landed in the New World … only 450,000 came to the United States.” That’s a little over 4 percent, meaning that the rest of enslaved people from Africa were trafficked to Latin America and Caribbean regions.

Depending on how much of the histories of slavery and colonization you’re familiar with, you might remember maps that charted the “Middle Passage” back in school. I recall seeing thicker arrows that pointed from Western Africa to Latin America and the Caribbean, but apart from that, we never talked about the implications of those arrows.

As Gates points out, part of the reason that we are not familiar with this part of black history in the Americas is due to our lack of global understanding.

“Also,” he adds, “it is in part the responsibility of the countries in South America themselves — each of which underwent a period of whitening.”

When Gates says South America, here, he’s referring to Mexico and Central and South American countries. Countries in these regions intentionally put in place policies that incentivized European immigration with the intention to mejorar la raza, or “better the race.” This sociopolitical movement was pushed by their governments to minimize racial and ethnic diversity in decision-making power. These policies were both anti-indigenous and anti-black.

This, too, affects how even black and brown people have internalized racism, because for generations, people have been conditioned to see their Afrodescendance and indigenous descendance in negative way. For example, from a young age, people are taught what is “good hair” and “pelo malo” (“bad hair”). Ideas of beauty center on European traits, such as lighter complexions and straight hair.

Today, there is not a lot of visibility of indigenous people and black people in Latin America. Popular television shows and films center casts, roles, and narratives on people of European descent.

So what we see on our screens are people who are of lighter skin.

Meanwhile, brown and black people in Latin America are positioned in lesser roles in cinema, which contributes to their erasure.

The critically acclaimed film, Roma, is one example in which an indigenous woman is recognized for her work as a leading actor but even then, Yalitza Aparicio has faced a lot of anti-indigenous racism.

In the U.S., we see the erasure of Afro-Latinx people who sit at the intersections of race and ethnicity. The imposed Latino panethnic identity makes us think that there is a single Latinx or black experience. The internalized racism within marginalized groups not only harms what we’re capable of and limits our understanding of race and ethnicity and how it is created, but it is also violent. Latinx people who can be closer to whiteness because of race or class, do so at the expense of black and brown people. Given the real terror and violence implicated through white supremacist people and policies, we need to recognize and name how we participate in recreating oppression.

Acknowledging how we all participate in oppressive structure is one step and actively working to dismantle these structures is another. We can even begin to identify and address these things in our daily lives by reading into the spaces that we engage in, the people we are around, and the voices that we listen to.
