Photo by Lisa McGaughran depicting Jessie Mae Hemphill onstage talking to the audience between songs at a Beale Street venue (either a restaurant or The Center for Southern Folklore itself, which at one time was supposedly located on Beale) during a music festival that was held throughout the Beale Street area indoor and outdoor venues that year.

I checked with the Center for Southern Folklore about the location/timing of the performance and think the event was a performance held at a 1980s Memphis Music and Heritage Festival, which The Center for Southern Folklore in Memphis holds annually around Labor Day. I think it was held in the mid to late 1980s period.
