Gentrification is rapidly changing the way Memphis, Tennessee – and many other cities – looks. Some benefit from this change. Others, not so much. For those of us divested in and tossed to wayside, this change sometimes comes baring teeth, threatening to lay waste to all that stand in its way. Sometimes the change comes with honey, or God. Sometimes the change tells you it’s good for you. It so often is not. The Placemaker, The Missionary, and The Conqueror is meant to tell the story of things stolen and the delusional thieves who think themselves good.
