Nashville Student Movement

The Nashville Student Movement was a group of young people, mainly students, who organized to challenge racial segregation in public facilities during the 1960s. They played a key role in sit-ins at segregated lunch counters, advocating for desegregation and civil rights through peaceful protests. Their efforts contributed significantly to the broader Civil Rights Movement, helping to desegregate public spaces in Nashville and inspiring similar actions nationwide. This movement exemplified young people's commitment to social justice and change during a pivotal era in American history.
