Richard Lou by Brad Cushman In downtown Memphis on Saturday, June 20, 2009, Augustin Diaz danced in an Aztec warrior costume. Spirituals were sung and immigrant stories told.

Ming Lou, 16, played the trumpet and spoke of his grandfather, a Chinese immigrant who worked in the Mississippi Delta.

Volunteers stacked cubes bringing images into focus:

· a pyramid of fire

· a map of the Mississippi River

· a Choctaw warrior

· a drawing of a slave auction, and

· lastly, an image of what the park (where the performance was taking place) would look like without a monument to Nathan Bedford Forrest. Forrest was a Confederate war veteran and leader of the Ku Klux Klan.

Directed by Richard Lou, an artist of Mexican and Chinese decent, this performance art happening questions –

"Who do we honor?,"

"Who do we leave out?," and

"Who has a right to tell their story in a public place?"
