The Walk continued annually 2011-2013 in the Broad Avenue Historic District and then blossomed in 2015 as the centerpiece in a day of events that launched the multi-media Memphis Says NO MORE campaign.Memphis Says NO MORE became the organizing theme of Walks along Beale Street and the Mall in 2015 and 2016 and in a one-mile loop at the University of Memphis from 2017 to 2024. Recent Walks have drawn government officials, judges, doctors, professors, ministers, lawyers, police commanders and athletes.By 2019 the Walk was drawing nearly 300 participants. COVID-19 prevented the 2020 Walk. It returned with signature masks in 2021 and pranced the route along Central, Highland and Poplar near the University campus until last year.This year we are back on Beale Street!
