This Is What Love in Action Looks Like
Sometimes being a Memphian can hurt. There is such a pride in your city instilled in you. But every time you hear about the city that shaped you, it’s never good. 
At the same time, these protesters and people who demanded change and love are forged from this same city. They are the Memphis I love and am proud of. 

Also loved all the mentions of but I’m a cheerleader
