The Temple Israel Museum initially gave Riss a two-month assignment: Photograph the congrega- tion’s cemetery for a new exhibit in the synagogue’s museum gallery as well as for a picture book. That’s what the veteran Memphis photogra- pher set out to do. But the plan changed after Riss’ first visits to the 16-acre burial ground at 1708 Hernando in South Memphis. The lushly landscaped rolling hills, criss- crossed by paved walkways and rows of ornate statuary, resonated for Riss on his first visit. He felt the sacred place speaking to him. “As I was beginning looking around and mak- ing friends with the cemetery, the cemetery said, ‘You need to relax and be quiet and look around. And you will see stuff,’” Riss recalled. The message received, Riss posed a big ques- tion to project leaders Rabbi Micah Greenstein and Susan Adler Thorp, a lifelong Temple Israel member and veteran journalist. Could he could spend an entire year capturing all four seasons in the cemetery? They said yes, and the result is the just pub- lished “Beloved: A View of One of the South’s Old- est Jewish Cemeteries as Photographed by Mur- ray Riss.” Nearly 200 photos fill the book. Riss captures the cemetery scenes through the filters of morning light, evening shadows, fog, light rain, radiant sun- shine and other points on the weather spectrum.

  • Multi‐Disciplinary Commentaries on a Blueprint for Prosperity
    June 2015 Multi‐disciplinary Commentaries on a Blueprint for Prosperity Foreword The City of Memphis’ Blue Print for Prosperity is a city initiated effort to partner with other local initiatives, organizations and agencies to increase the wealth among low income citizens, increase their resiliency to meet daily financial exigencies and reduce poverty. A number of factors contribute to those challenges. Thus any successful effort to address them requires a multidisciplinary approach. In June 2014, a set of researchers at the University of Memphis across a range of academic colleges and departments was invited to discuss approaches to wealth creation and poverty reduction for the various perspectives of their various disciplines. Based on that conversation, they were asked to submit policy briefs from those perspectives with recommendations to contribute to a community process to produce a plan for action. The following report summarizes and provides those briefs. Participants in the report and their contributions include: David Cox, Ph.D., Department of Public and Nonprofit Administration, School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, College of Arts and Sciences.

BORDELLO RECORDS Renowned Texas songwriter/Americana hero returns with lean ’n’ mean follow-up to 2012’s triumphant The Grifter’s Hymnal; album soon to be followed by his uproarious, hair-raising autobiography,! A Life … Well, Lived. Co-produced by Hubbard and bassist George Reiff, The Ruffian’s Misfortune showcases Hubbard’s bluesy slide alongside the twin guitar leads ! of Gabe Rhodes and Hubbard’s son, Lucas WIMBERLEY, Texas — When it comes to down ’n’ dirty roots ’n’ roll, nobody in the wide world of Americana music today does it better than Ray Wylie Hubbard. Except, it seems, for Hubbard himself. After riding a decade-long career resurgence into the national spotlight with 2012’s acclaimed The Grifter’s Hymnal and his first ever appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman (“I didn’t want to peak too soon,” quips Hubbard, 68), the iconoclastic Texas songwriter is back to continue his hot streak with The Ruffian’s Misfortune — his 16th album !(and third on his own Bordello Records, via Thirty Tigers) — due out April 7, 2015. From his humble beginnings as an Oklahoma folkie in the ’60s to his wild ride through the ’70s progressive country movement, and onward through the honky-tonk fog of the ’80s to his sobriety-empowered comeback as a songwriter’s songwriter in the ’90s, Hubbard was already a bona fide legend by the time he really found his groove right at the turn of the century.
