Spark Hope. Ignite Action. Meet Cory Booker

In October 2008, Newark Mayor Cory Booker inspired a crowd of over 850 at our Leadership Academy luncheon with his message of hope and challenge of responsibility. He reminded us that Memphis is a city of greatness, and that we should proudly recognize our city's strengths.

Below is a taste of Mayor Booker's electrifying message and its impact on our Memphis community:
