“It's 901 Day, a day about Memphis. Memphians stand up and demand better. In 1968, sanitation workers in Memphis marched for fair wages and respect. Dr. King came to Memphis to stand with those workers and tragically lost his life. This history reminds us that progress has never been given to Memphis. We have fought for it. We must fight harder with gerrymandered redistricting and ICE raids. We celebrate the people, the generation of Memphians who refused to accept things the way they were.”
