A dedicated gallery and archive within the Main Library documenting the Nashville civil rights movement, sited near the downtown lunch counters where the 1960 sit-ins occurred. It preserves the story of the students who desegregated the city through nonviolence.
Visitor Info
Visitors see large-scale historic photographs, a symbolic glass-topped lunch-counter table inscribed with the movement’s rules of conduct, quotations and a timeline, plus access to oral histories. Admission is free during library hours.
