dbo:abstract
  • Andrew "Sunbeam" Mitchell (1906-1989) was a Memphis-based businessman. He owned various establishments on the Chitlin' Circuit. Mitchell ran nightclubs for 40 years until selling off his holdings in the 1980s. In the 1940s, post-war Memphis became a hot spot for blues music. African American musicians began moving to Memphis, and established entertainers would perform and record here. During segregation, there were few venues where African Americans could perform, and fewer hotels where they could stay. In 1944, Sunbeam Mitchell opened the Mitchell Hotel which lodged well-known musicians, and soon he began operating nightclubs. (en)
