Young detailed his top three priorities for the city of Memphis: economic development, blight, and more ways to engage the youth.
“It’s not a negotiation. It’s a conversation. I asked what it would take to have a ceasefire. They told me what they thought it would take to change our community. I think that’s valuable insight,” said Young.
