I would love to visit Memphis, Tennessee! I’ve been learning more and more about Stax Records in Memphis. Stax Records was Founded in the early 1960’s by two siblings Jim Stewart and Estelle Axton. They made the following kinds of music: southern soul, funk, blues, rhythm and blues, and even gospel. There artist were Otis Redding, Johnny Talor, Isaac Hayes, among others. Stax Records now have a museum there in Memphis. I would also visit the hotel, now museum, where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated. Lastly, I’ve heard about the good soul food there. Looking forward to visiting Memphis, Tennessee to see the museums and get some good soul food.
This is a great weekend. Today is Juneteenth and tomorrow is Father’s Day! Celebrating Freedom and Father’s on the same weekend. As an African American, It’s important for me to appreciate, value, and make the best of my freedom . This means making responsible choices and avoid misleading anyone down the path of crime. To be a Father is one of the greatest gifts. To be trusted with guiding a human life is priceless. I will continue to be grateful as I continue to grow and become a better Man, Husband, and Father. This is only possible through the freedom that I have.
