Day 3

Day Three:
Nashville, TN – Memphis, TN

• We spend the morning in the Nashville Public Library’s beautifully furnished Civil Rights Reading Room in downtown Nashville, just a few blocks from the site of the Nashville sit-ins that began in early 1960.

• We walk down to the Arcade at 5th Avenue to see the (completely faded) sign that (once) listed the “rules of engagement” for students participating in the 1960 sit-ins.




• We briefly stop by the campus of Fisk University on our way out of town.





• We finish the day by eating world-famous Rendezvous ribs in Memphis and heading out to Beale Street.
