NashvilleSites.org has launched a new driving tour centered on sites related to the civil rights movement, Tennessee Tribune reports. The tour includes stops at the location of sit-ins, the beginning of school desegregation at East Nashville High School, the bombing of lawyer Z. Alexander Looby’s house, and swim-ins at the Centennial Park Swimming Pool. Each stop has audio narration, a map and historic images. The tour was researched and written by Dr. Lea Williams with the Tennessee State University, Dr. Brandon Owens with Fisk University and Linda Wynn with the Tennessee Historical Commission. Wynn, a graduate of TSU and retired Fisk professor, narrates the tour, which can be taken virtually or in-person.
