2014. Fox 13 “Breaking News” report
http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/local-news/north-memphis-community-becomes-lab-for-do-or
A few years ago, the University of Memphis identified five "hot spots" for crime in Memphis. Three were in Frayser.
6 in 10 Frayser children lived in what the federal government defines as poverty.
Unemployment here has more than doubled in the past decade to more than 17 percent.
The state considers 11 of Frayser's 14 public schools to be failing. Fewer than half of Frayser's adults have high school diplomas.
Folks in Frayser are eager for positive change, but after generations of being tossed about by massive socioeconomic forces such as deindustrialization, suburbanization and urbanization, they don't want to play poster child for well-meaning outsiders using Frayser's woes to cash in on grants or bolster resumes.
