TOM LEE PARK: A RIVERFRONT FOR EVERYONE

What does it mean to have a world-class park in a majority Black city that is truly equitable? The transformation of Tom Lee Park - named for a Black man who rescued 32 people from a capsized steamboat in 1925 - into a stunning oasis looks to answer that question. Join Jeanne Gang, Kate Orff, Theaster Gates and the entire team behind this historic and transformative renovation of land and psyche.

This film was made for Memphis River Parks.  It is currently screening on PBS/WKNO. You can stream it here.
