Tara M. Stringfellow, Memphis

“History had awakened me to the fact that racism is the only food Americans crave.”
Tara M. Stringfellow, Memphis

“walls shook with the laughter. Laughter that was, in and of itself, Black. Laughter that could break glass. Laughter that could uplift a family. A cacophony of Black female joy in a language private to them.”
Tara M. Stringfellow, Memphis
