The Civil War had officially abolished slavery, but it didn’t end discrimination against Black people—they continued to endure the devastating effects of racism, especially in the South. By the mid-20th century, Black Americans had had more than enough of prejudice and violence against them. They, along with many white Americans, mobilized and began an unprecedented fight for equality that spanned two decades.” Source: History.com Follow the Civil Rights Trail at https://civilrightstrail.com/timeline/ Nashville in the 1960’s: Setting the Stage with Sit-ins According to the 1960 Census Nashville was populated by 170,874: approximately 106,000 white and 64000 “negro” (the official designation at that time).
