viziwyg-editable viziwyg-field-2297692-BODY viziwyg-section-7993"> <div class="entry-content"> <p>Beale Street is one of those rare thoroughfares that made the leap from the map to cultural shorthand. Like the Mississippi and the Delta, Graceland and the Lorraine Motel, Beale Street is part of the aura of Memphis.</p><p>The street’s latest incarnation, a version some find more theme park than authentic, includes a walk of fame commemorating notable citizens. Note-shaped brass markers are dedicated to politician “Boss” Ed Crump and to composer W.C. Handy, both of whom are featured in <em>Beale Street Dynasty: Sex, Song, and the Struggle for the Soul of Memphis</em>, a new book by music journalist and former <em>Memphis</em> magazine staffer<em> </em>Preston Lauterbach.</p><p>There isn’t a note marker dedicated to either Robert Reed Church Sr. or Jr., though both wielded significant influence at one time. Of the younger Church, for example Lauterbach writes “nearly a half-century before the modern civil rights movement, a black man, through his own financial resources and acumen, organized the most extensive registration of Southern Negro voters thus far in U.S. history.”</p><p>The elder Church had been a successful businessman with an office on Beale and the distinction of being the South’s first black millionaire. Bob Church Sr. also happened to be the son of a wealthy white riverboat captain and his part-white slave. He financed his climb up the social ladder in part through gambling dens and prostitution.</p><p>As Lauterbach explains, “Church understood every contour of the city’s psychological topography and positioned his venture perfectly. There he re-enacted on dry land what he’d learned on the river: serving white men’s thirsts. Twisting the racial roles of the Southern sex trade, Church’s houses enslaved white women.”</p><p>Given the source of much of the Church wealth, the lack of modern-day recognition might be understandable, but as Lauterbach explains, a blatant disregard of laws was the way business was conducted in late 19th- and early 20th-century Memphis. Indeed, Lauterbach’s description of Beale Street and its surrounding neighborhoods evokes an anything-goes atmosphere where gambling and prostitution were largely ignored or at least managed by politicians and police to their — and arguably the city’s — advantage. “In fact, all the great and memorable Memphis achievements were tied intrinsically to vice and crime,” Lauterbach writes of late 19th-century Memphis.</p><p>Well-written and extensively researched, <em>Beale Street</em> has a few issues, including Lauterbach’s use of historical terms and slang for African-Americans, a choice that might strengthen the illusion of being in 1890s or 1920s Memphis but might make contemporary readers wince. Race is at the core of much of <em>Beale Street</em>. Even prosperous citizens like the Churches shared in the insecurities of being black in the Reconstruction-era South. Throughout the book there are numerous incidents of injustice to blacks, often meted out by people who were supposed to be working on their behalf.</p><p>A corollary to that is the number of instances where Memphis’ white population took advantage of the system safe in the knowledge that a black person could never press charges against, sue or really even complain about mistreatment from citizens, gangsters and policemen alike. Memphis was nevertheless the rare Southern exception when it came to black suffrage. Black votes were packaged and delivered to politicians in exchange for promised improvements in their lives.</p><p>One of those deal-making politicians was “Boss” Ed Crump, the head of a political organization that “must be considered among the most successful political machines of the early 20th century,” according to Lauterbach. The Crump machine’s tentacles were far-reaching and its power commanded the respect of the pinnacle of the Democratic party: the FDR administration.</p><p>The music connection in <em>Beale Street</em> is often tenuous at best; Lauterbach includes just enough to hold the interest of readers who came looking for that. W.C. Handy’s story, for example, is woven throughout several chapters, including how he came to write a jingle for the 1909 Memphis mayoral race, the campaign that launched Crump. In 1912, Handy published the sheet music as “Memphis Blues” and helped popularize a new genre of music. Five years later, Handy’s “Beale Street” was published, already a nostalgic tribute to a vanishing world, Lauterbach says.</p><p>The end of <em>Beale Street</em> serves as warning about preserving landmarks: Bob Church Sr.’s home — a Victorian showplace visited by Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and other historical figures — met an inglorious end. After years of use as a boarding house, the structure stood derelict until the city offered it to firemen looking to demonstrate firefighting techniques. Eventually, Lauterbach tells readers, public housing was built on the site.</p><p> </p><h3 align="center">Beale Street Dynasty: Sex, Song, and the Struggle for the Soul of Memphis</h3><p align="left"><strong>Preston Lauterbach</strong></p><p align="left">(W.W.
