Several newly designated sites will honor Black history in Nashville. The U.S. Civil Rights Trail has added two music museums to its roster. The Jefferson Street Sound Museum showcases how music, culture and activism intersected to energize Nashville's civil rights movement while the Museum of Christian and Gospel Music examines the powerful role gospel music and musicians played as a source of hope, unity and inspiration during the fight for civil rights. Read more about the new designations in news release from the trail. In addition, a new memorial is being planned for the some 6,000 enslaved people buried in the Nashville City Cemetery. The cemetery, which is raising money for the tribute, says the majority of graves have no marker at all. WKRN reports on the effort.
