Maurice Cox, Director of Design at the National Endowment for the Arts,
stressed excellence, public involvement, and education in all areas of the
arts in his talk yesterday at the Center City Commission Annual Luncheon.
He ended with these words,
"And then, lastly, the most memorable moment for me, visiting Memphis, was
looking out at your extraordinary natural resource, and that's the river.
And I would encourage you to preserve your riverfront as a public living
room of Memphis - at all costs, because the collective dignity of Memphis
begins at the river, and you should give it back to the public to whom it
rightfully belongs."
His talk and specific highlights of suggestions for Memphis are posted on
