On Sunday, Memphis and the United States lost a legend when State Representative Lois DeBerry passed away. Speaker Pro Tempore Emeritus Lois DeBerry was a respected and effective African American legislator as well as a great orator and a go-to leader on everything from civil rights to children's and women's issues and on all things Memphis.

Local business owners had a chance to learn about the federal government contracting process directly from representatives from a host of federal agencies, and I was pleased to see such a strong showing from the 9th District.
