Memphis on the internet.

The Tennessee Three

Last weekโ€™s wild ride ended with the expulsion of two Black Tennessee House members, but one of the Tennessee Three (the white one) remained. It also yielded some quality memes about the rare moment of Memphis/Nashville solidarity like this one.

Rumors swirled all over the MEMernet that Memphis could lose its funding for sporting infrastructure improvements and other projects if Justin Pearson was sent back to the Tennessee General Assembly. For guidance, many sought a statement from Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland, who they said was publicly silent on the topic.
