Memphis, We Belong Here

Written By Mark Hackett

Last night, I joined a few thousand other Memphians in marching against the hate and fear that the Trump Administration is trying to force our country into. This absurd presidency is already wreaking havoc across the nation and is now punishing refugees for the crimes of others. It is wrong, dangerous, and downright stupid. The only way to stop Trump and his cronies is to stand up. They won’t stop until we stop them.

We rallied at the historic Clayborn Temple and marched to the National Civil Rights Museum. Here are a few photos I took during the march:

Sudan is included on the Trump administration’s list of countries where refugees are currently banned. Many Sudanese refugees I have met over the years are some of the kindest people I know. Learn more about how you can support Sudanese refugees here.
