Today, we visited the Civil Rights Reading Room in the Nashville Public Library downtown on Church St. Students spent a few hours researching their projects, then we met with journalist John Egerton. Egerton has covered Civil Rights topics for over 50 years, and he showed us his recently finished film on the 1957 court-ordered school desegregation in Nashville.
We also visited the sites of the original Nashville sit-ins as well as Fisk University before we left for Memphis and ribs at the famous Rendezvous.
