50 ans après la disparition du pasteur Martin Luther King, Memphis se souvient… Les pleurs, la colère et la détermination de poursuivre le combat continuent de hanter l’esprit des acteurs et témoins cette époque troublée. Comme pour contrer les dérives racistes du XXIe siècle, des voix s’élèvent et racontent une histoire qui semble tristement se répéter.
Qu’ils soient enseignants, historiens, auteurs ou musiciens, ils conservent tous cet engagement citoyen qui rythme leur quotidien. La date du 4 avril 1968 n’est pas si loin pour ces hommes et ces femmes attachés à l’égalité raciale. Ils ont tous en mémoire des images terrifiantes, des déclarations insultantes, des exactions violentes, mais ils ont fait face et se font un devoir de conter leur courageuse épopée pour que l’avenir de leurs enfants soit assuré.
Bertha Looney est aujourd’hui enseignante au Southwest Tennessee Community College de Memphis. À 76 ans, elle tient à rester en contact avec la jeune génération qui lui donne foi en une paix sociale future. Elle sait combien les temps ont changé, combien les conditions de vie ont évolué, mais elle reste vigilante, car sa propre expérience révèle la fracture entre Blancs et Noirs aux États-Unis. Elle fit partie des « Memphis State Eight », ces huit premiers adolescents noirs autorisés à entrer à l’université du Tennessee en vertu d’une loi fédérale de 1954.
Malgré l’opposition farouche des autorités locales et l’hostilité de 5 000 étudiants blancs, elle fit ses premiers pas sur le campus en 1959. Bien qu’elle ne se considère pas comme une pionnière du mouvement des droits civiques, elle a progressivement acquis une réputation de femme téméraire. Elle participa même aux marches non violentes initiées par Martin Luther King qu’elle rencontra la veille de son assassinat.
Manifester paisiblement, quitte à affronter les chiens policiers, était une posture que ne partageaient pas tous les militants africains américains au cœur des années 1960. Le meurtre du pasteur King fit basculer la fronde de la communauté noire en une rébellion massive. Certains activistes prônèrent la manière forte et défièrent l’administration américaine.

它讓神經原在常規的緊張鍛煉中進行共振燃燒，由此帶來健身運動所無法達到的效果。Ion Magnum複雜的振動波是基于於二十多年對神經原燃燒信號的研究手工製作的。 設備製造者的臨床研究結果顯示，30分鐘的治療相當於在健身房10個小時的運動，可以燃燒高達5000卡路里的熱量。其他臨床研究顯示肌肉生成的速度以及脂肪（表面脂肪以及深部脂肪）减少的速度相應都比運動的效果更好。對於Ion Magnum沒有進行理療的部位，甚至會有抗衰老防氧化的效果。 有受試者治療一次之後同一個部位减掉了3-4英寸（不像其他减肥治療中宣稱的那樣，一次治療减掉了5英寸，但那是全身20多個部位加起來减掉的尺寸）。同時，它還可以减掉脖子和下巴的脂肪，讓你的雙下巴消失 . 每次治療需要25分鐘。治療前後的效果非常明顯，而且會持續1-2天。要想達到更好的效果，最好接受1-2個小時的治療。
