Memphis Culture Coalition (MCC), in partnership with Historic Clayborn Temple and powered by Memphis-based social enterprise The Big We, will host State of the Arts: Mayoral Forum 2026 on Monday, April 6th from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Memphis Museum of Science & History, located at 3050 Central Avenue. 

Congressman Steve Cohen recently announced a $3.1 million federal grant to support the rebuilding and preservation of the historic Memphis landmark, a site widely recognized as one of the most important locations in American history.

In classrooms across Memphis, a quiet but powerful transformation is beginning. Inside Freedom Prep Academy, a group of middle school girls gather each week to talk, imagine, build ideas, and discover something many of them have never been told before: they already have what it takes to create something of their own.

Memphis residents gathered at the National Civil Rights Museum for Culture Shift 101, an interactive workshop that explored how storytelling can influence culture, shift beliefs, and inspire meaningful change in communities.
