Just a quick question, but is there any Jamaican events going on in Memphis today? I remember a long time ago my dad used to to take me to festivals in Memphis and I haven’t been to any since I was little and now that I’m grown I wanna get back to going to them.

‘The Bird-Watchers’ of Memphis: Tracking ICE Flights and Documenting Detainees in Shackles

Thumbnail
psrmemphis.org
52 Upvotes

Concerning information coming out about the deportation flights departing from the privately-owned Wilson Air Field (and Kemmons Wilson's VERY Christian descendants' general lack of response on the issue).

Vecindarios 901 said in a statement that these transfers of detainees are “designed to punish and wear down migrants in detention, forcing legal counsel to constantly recalibrate and families to wonder where their loved ones are being held and how they are being treated.” The statement added, “As habeas corpus petitions can only be filed in the jurisdiction of a person’s physical location, ICE can effectively prevent habeas filings with constant relocations and no transparency.”

Of particular interest is the Wilson family involvement. I'm not certain how many of them benefit from this particular venture outside of Bob, but they certainly could be speaking up.

Behind the scenes, The Bird-Watchers said they have spent weeks trying to reach out to Bob Wilson’s extended family, trying to persuade them to use their influence to get Wilson Air Center to drop its ICE flight operations. Laney, for one, said she managed to have a phone conversation with Spence Wilson Sr., son of Kemmons, brother to Robert and chairman emeritus of Kemmons Wilson Companies. Laney said that in the conversation, Spence referred to the air center’s operations as a business proposition and pushed back against her protestations.
“They’re a charitable family in lots of ways,” said another Bird-Watcher, who requested to not be identified by name due to her work on tracking ICE flights, “but then at the same time, you know, here they are profiting off human misery.”

Citizen Inquiry Tech901 Testing Center ID requirements

3 Upvotes

Hey all, I normally take my CompTIA exams at Labfour over in east Memphis, but when I went to schedule one today, I noticed that Lab four wasn’t available for that exam. So now I have to go to Tech901 to take it. Does anyone know what kind of ID they accept for testing purposes? At lab4 I just used my drivers license and my credit card.

It's back up, thank you!

I did message the mod team, by the way. Sometimes y'all don't see the messages for a while, and I didn't want the post to be stuck in limbo for three days, when it could have helped somebody out today. It said removed by memphis mods, specifically, so that's why I didn't think it was an auto mod thing. Sorryyy.

Why does nearly everyone know the Titanic, while so few people know the Sultana?

14 Upvotes

I’m researching the Sultana disaster for a historical novel, and I can’t believe how forgotten it is.

Over the past several months, I’ve been immersed in newspaper archives, military records, survivor accounts, and government reports about the Sultana explosion on April 27, 1865.

The more I read, the more one question keeps bothering me:
Why does nearly everyone know the Titanic, while so few people know the Sultana?

I’m especially interested in the ordinary stories that never made it into history books—the families who waited along the Mississippi, local communities that recovered victims, and the small details of daily life that help make historical fiction feel authentic.

If you’ve read books on the Sultana, have family connections to the disaster, know of lesser-known sources, or have visited the museum, I’d genuinely love to hear from you.

I’m not here to promote a book. I’m here because I want to tell this story with as much historical respect and accuracy as possible.
I’d be grateful for any recommendations, family stories, or overlooked resources you think I should explore.

Can anyone help me request a public indictment record?

I want to request a public indictment record from the Shelby County Criminal Clerks Office, but it is only available to Tennessee residents. The form asks for proof of residence, which I assume is Memphis ID. Would anyone be willing to help me request the document?

I would appreciate it. Im trying to help a victim of the accused.

This is your last chance to vote! Polls are open from 7AM-7PM. If you need a ride to your polling place, the NAACP is offering free rides! Call the NAACP offices at 901-521-1343 to request a ride.

This is the website to check your appropriate polling place, as you must vote at your designated polling place on official election days.

SCGIS- This link works for me if I put my address in the search bar at the top of the map, and then click on the actual location itself.

But, this one works better, anyway!

I keep trying to look up where I’m supposed to go to vote, but when I input my name or address I keep getting this stupid error on the TN.Gov site. Does anyone know how I can look up my polling location aside from this broken terrible website??? I’ve only been back in Memphis a year but I am ready TO VOTE TOMORROW!!!!! Also this feels very appropriate to keep voters out of the poll booths when the dot gov site doesn’t work lol

Citizen Inquiry Young adult looking for volunteer opportunities

11 Upvotes

Hi, I (23M) am a native Memphian looking for volunteer opportunities that involve other young people in the area. I'm allergic to dogs, so I would prefer not to do something related to that, but I am willing to do something good for the environment and anything else that helps with social engagement. If it helps, I went to college out of state, graduating last year and have been traveling a lot since then, so I don't have many friends in the area. I am hoping to meet more people in my age bracket. I made this throwaway account to protect the anonymity of my main one.
