A family reunion of descendants of the late Dr. Green Forte Pinkston of Memphis and Cordova was held recently. Pinkston, the grandson of freed Mississippi slaves, died in 1963.

Five of his nine children, ranging in age from 80 to 90, survive. All five, most of their children and grandchildren and other family members converged in Memphis to celebrate the legacy of their Tennessee patriarch.

They gathered at the University of Memphis Holiday Inn and the Fogelman Center, various Memphis locales, and the homes of current residents including Howard Pinkston of Cordova who still conducts farming operations on what is left of the original Pinkston farm in Cordova.

Pinkston was one of the earliest African-Americans to practice medicine in Memphis. Judging from remarks of family members at the numerous events, the enduring legacy of Pinkston was one of hard work, education and family. Although only one generation removed from slavery, both Pinkston and his brother, the late Dr. Lee Gresham Pinkston of Dallas, graduated from Meharry Medical College and practiced medicine throughout their lives.

Pinkston moved from Memphis to Cordova following the untimely death of his first wife, Ollie Busby. He farmed there, raising primarily cotton and livestock for over 50 years until his death at 88. Remarried to the late Penella Horne Pinkston, he and his wife raised nine children, sending all to college except for Howard, who took over the farm operation (and later sent his three children to Tufts, Brown and Harvard universities).

Because school facilities in Cordova were deemed inadequate by Pinkston, he arranged for his children to live in Memphis during the school year to attend city schools.

One of the highlights of the weekend was a talk by Maxine Smith, longtime executive director of the Memphis NAACP. Smith, who had grown up with and attended school with some of the Pinkston children, addressed the clan at a private luncheon at the National Civil Rights Museum then accompanied the clan on a tour of the facility.

"I used to beat Charles up," she remarked to great amusement."

Dr. Charles F. Pinkston, long ago recognized as one of Memphis' leading citizens, has practiced dentistry in Memphis for over 50 years and continues to do so at age 80.

"We Pinkstons tend to be long lived," he said, "so I expect I'll practice a few more years."

Joyce and Bonnie C. Pinkston are descendants of late Dr. Green Forte Pinkston.
