We Are North Nashville: The Podcast is about the lives of elders who call North Nashville home, in their own words. It's about the ways the elders have kept joy alive in their neighborhood in spite of all the challenges it has faced. It's about the history that newcomers to the city don't always know, or even think to ask about. It's about walking the streets and still seeing the way people held this place together, even when city planners set about ripping it apart.
Join us for a discussion with executive producer Andrea Tudhope and North Nashville community members about the history of North Nashville and the contemporary efforts to build and maintain a thriving, joyful neighborhood that teems with life and promise. Joining Tudhope will be Melvin Gill, elder, architect and TSU alumnus; Barbara Jean Watson, one of first students to integrate Nashville schools (Jones Elementary); M. Simone Boyd, artist and project lead; and Tranae Chatman, curator of social history at the Tennessee State Museum and current president of the Inter-Museum Council of Nashville (ICON).
