Beale Street, Africa In April, April 17, 2010

Africa in April has become a spring tradition in Memphis, and while it might not be exactly Freaknik, it's as close as we've ever gotten in Memphis, since it usually involves bright, sunny weather, street vendors, good food, live music and huge crowds of people. This year, Nigeria was the African country being honored, and the pretty weather brought out the people (and unfortunately, the politicians as well).
