The plaza outside the Nashville Courthouse was named after Civil Rights activist Diane Nash. In the early 1960’s, she organized with local college students, like John Lewis, in Sit-in protests and the Freedom Riders. In 1961, Nash confronted the mayor of Nashville on these same steps with the question “Do you feel it is wrong to discriminate against a person solely on the basis of their race or color?”, the mayor admitted that he did. Restaurants were desegregated three weeks later.
