Something that makes Nashville truly unique is our thriving creative culture, and so much of that can be attributed to the legacy of the city’s African American and Black community members.

Other than being home to Fisk and three other historically Black colleges and universities, North Nashville was also once home to a thriving live music scene on Jefferson Street, where Black artists looking to launch their careers performed.
