Considering my focus was on so much of the gentrification going on in the neighborhood led to me to wonder what may eventually happen to this building, its powerful significance to the history of Nashville as well as the Civil Rights Movement which ultimately led black Americans to gain equal knowledge through education. I have lived here for 8 years now and never knew what this building was or meant to the foundation of today's educational aspects. As a black American, standing on the property of Fehr elementary school, there is no words to express how I felt and how thankful I am for learning the epic events that took place right where I stood. Thank you for this sharing this. This should be shared and expressed in the area since so many building are being newly gentrified. This building must remain standing as a positive reinforcement tool in our city.

I just want to cry for those little girls because they must have been so scared...and stand up and applaud those brave parents who walked them to school during those most difficult of times. <br /><br />I wish Nashville did something to recognize that day each year.DKNVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520642672750091366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-42859542493101184692009-06-29T18:35:21.219-05:002009-06-29T18:35:21.219-05:00This picture has so much resonance for me for so m...This picture has so much resonance for me for so many reasons. I was in first grade here in Nashville on another side of town, having no earthly idea what was going on over here. Living yards away from where the pic was taken is almost eerie, but I'm so glad you got to use the pic.<br /><br />Great piece.john hutchhttp://salemslots.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
