Messenger's Cafe. [Clarksdale, MS.] The Messenger family has owned businesses in Clarksdale since about 1903, and this club is reputed to be the oldest continuously operated black-owned business in the area. In 1941, Fisk University sociologists meticulously noted the names of every song on the jukebox at Messenger's and four other clubs, and last year an import label published a multi-disk set of them all.: photo by Andrew Murr, 25 August 2017

Truth in advertising. [Memphis]. Notice the ages of the four men in this Memphis billboard offering families "Exclusive Black Headstones." From left to right, 25, 31, 20 and 43. Way too young. News clips say that Wallace was shot and killed while celebrating his 25th birthday at a nightclub. Wilson, the 20 year old, died after a friend shot him in the eye with a BB gun. I can't tell easily what killed Brown or Sharp, but this unassuming Reflections ad, on a busy corner in Orange Mound, lines out quietly a very sad story about black male life expectancy in working-class Memphis.: photo by Andrew Murr, 27 August 2017
