S5E11 - Enhancing the Community and City Culture

"You can complain about what you don't have or you can build what you want. If we want a prosperous Memphis, we can't expect anyone to give it to us. It is something that we have to work, spend our own blood, sweat, and tears to build. Whether it's a business, your career, or anything -- you can complain about it or you can build it." -- Alan Gumbel, COO of The Black Chamber of Memphis

Each Spring, Memphis spotlights some of the most celebrated restaurants in the city during Memphis Black Restaurant Week.
