Community Spotlights with the Memphis Urban League: The Smith Family
by JR Robinson from JustMyMemphis
Meet the Smith Family, Bernal E Smith II built something lasting . . .
They say that behind every great man is a strong and unique woman. Today we sit down with the women left behind on that tragic day that our city lost an icon. Spend a few minutes with these ladies and you quickly realize that Bernal E Smith II will impact Memphis for generations to come. Bernal gave his family roots and wings. One of his greatest accomplishments may be the loving, strong, community-focused family he left behind!
Meet the Newest Member of the Smith Family,
Meet Bronzen Bernal Herman, the grandson of Bernal E Smith II. He was born 03.01.2023 at 12:11 am. His birth weight was 5 lbs, 12oz. He is a tall 19 inches!
My Last Interview with Bernal E Smith II
Bernal accomplished a lot during his short time with us. He was a man that was both learning to be better every day and a man sharing his incredible wisdom every day. The one thing I will try and always remember from Bernal is what he taught his kids. Show Up and Show Out! For many of us, showing up is a battle. For Bernal, showing up was just the start! Next, you must bring your A-Game and show everyone who you are!
