Herman visits Frayser and North Memphis!

Let some tell it, Herman Morris doesn't get love from the black community in Memphis.

But those who make such faulty accusations don't ask about issues that Herman Morris will champion as mayor that will affect the black community. They don't ask to be at Herman Morris events that involve the working class people of Memphis. They don't ask the local media (especially the four local television news rooms) why they do not broadcast the message of positive change that Herman Morris has in store for Memphians.

So while some people only want to scrutinize the drug test when discussing Herman Morris, Herman Morris is hard at work for change in the Bluff City and is taking it to the streets.

Herman toured barber shops in Frayser and North Memphis this past Saturday to talk to voters about the issues that are important to them, their families, and their community. Barber shops are a traditional forum in the community and a great place to get honest dialog about the change they need to see in Memphis. The following were photos taken on the tour.

The barbers, beauticians, and patrons were pleased to talk about their community and ask Herman about his plans when he becomes mayor. The people was very supportive of Herman and enthusiastic about the bright future of Memphis with Herman Morris working for the people. One patron commented she was glad to see Herman in the community talking to the people, but was afraid once elected, Herman would be nowhere to be found. Her concern was understandable; Memphians have become accustomed to elected officials who aren't around three out of four years. She was assured that Herman Morris will be accessible as mayor through monthly mayoral forums and a listed phone number.

Herman Morris has real Memphians proud and excited to see actual goals for Memphis from a mayoral candidate instead of complaints without solutions and hollow posturing. Herman Morris is willing to meet the people where they are; in the heart of the community.
