The book “The Children” by David Halberstam provides a great insight into the place Nashville holds in the Civil Rights movement. I hope that Nashville will continue to preserve and highlight that legacy. (As an aside, I never pass through downtown without looking across the Cumberland River and seeing the steeple of American Baptist Seminary, the alma mater of John Lewis, without thinking about that shy, introverted young man who would go on to be a lion of the movement!). Also, my apologizes for posting within a group to which I’m not a member. I view DU on my phone and I tend to look at the thread titles and miss the groups, I hope that my intrusion is acceptable.
