Since the 1992 SfAA Annual Meeting focusing on "Regional Research and Development" is scheduled for Memphis, Tennessee, it is especially appropriate that we feature a special section on "Practicing Anthropology in the Lower Mississippi Delta." This collection of articles, assembled by guest editors Bridget Ciaramitaro and Shirley Fiske, illustrates the range of roles that anthropologists have come to play in the Memphis area in government, community organization, health care, and museums, as well as in educational settings. These articles also demonstrate the very positive functions that a local practitioner organization (LPO) can serve for anthropologists employed outside of academia. We hope that other LPOs will be stimulated to write for PA about their organizations and activities. This collection should also be of special interest to academic anthropologists who train practitioners since the articles demonstrate the impact that an applied anthropology training program which actively places its graduates and encourages continuing contact and cooperation between them can have on the image and place of anthropology in a community.
