I AM A MAN Plaza, at Clayborn Temple
In 2018, the city of Memphis unveiled this newly-named plaza, next to Clayborn Temple, a key historical point for the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike. A striking sculpture features a wall with the names of 1,300 strikers, among other artworks. The city hopes the plaza will be a space for everyone to reflect on the history and gravity of civil rights in Memphis, and a place to consider how we can move forward together.
294 Hernando St. at Clayborn Temple.
