Photo[edit]

Is this really the best photograph that we can find of the Memphis Tennessee Temple? It doesn't even show the temple, just the sign. Is there a better free-use one out there? Sogospelman (talk) 17:30, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would like a better one too, but I have not found one. The Oklahoma City Oklahoma Temple and a few others have similar photos... (There is a notice above requesting a photo.) If you live near or happen to be near one of those temples I would appreciate you taking a better picture and publishing it here. – jaksmata 20:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Temple location[edit]

Among large cities in the U.S., Memphis has the second largest black population. The suburbs of Memphis (like elsewhere in the U.S.) largely grew in size due to white flight---i.e., white people who didn't want to live next to black people. It is significant that the LDS church chose to name a temple the Memphis Temple but locate it as far away from the African American population in Memphis as possible. It violates a neutral point of view to simply ignore this fact. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.129.127.46 (talk) 01:14, 16 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
