I have always heard that Memphis is known for its music history, especially the blues, but I never investigated the theory for myself.

The last day of every year in elementary school, the students were handed their yearly report cards. My grades did not interest me at all as a 2nd grader. What mattered to me most was not…

It is to be believed…

Introduction Jacob Ezra Katz officially changed his name to Ezra Jack Keats in 1947 (123). The reason for the name change was because of the anti-Semitic attitudes that were prevalent in the U.S. after the end of World War II (122).
