How To Use the $30 Million Restoration of Clayborn Temple to Help Jumpstart a New Memphis Economy

This week in the guest chair, we have Memphis-based cultural strategist and entrepreneur Anasa Troutman. She is the Executive Director of the 130-year-old Historic Clayborn Temple, where she is leading a $30 million restoration of this National Trust for Historic Preservation-recognized National Treasure. Clayborn Temple served as the base of operations for the 1968 Sanitation Workers' Strike for civil and labor rights. Her team is tapping into that history to create an anchor for a locally-based restorative economy.
