While serving on the Collierville Planning Commission Mr. Kuykendall became interested in the harm pornography and sexual orientated business bring to families and communities when a “Gentleman’s Club” made application to open in Collierville. This new kindled interest led to a life long commitment to continue the fight against the harms of pornography and the damage it causes families and children. Citizens for Communities Value’s Vision of significantly reducing sexual exploitation and violence in greater Memphis and of helping those who have been exploited in the sex industry provided a natural partnership of like-minded goals and interests.
