There is visual power in numbers, and this annual march to TSU commemorates both King’s life and a handful of the original Nashville sit-in participants who changed history. Organizers have invited some 15 area colleges and the 15,000 National Baptist Convention attendees in town to join them; North Nashville Baptist and Methodist churches are having individual services that morning, then convening at 11 a.m., where the march will reconvene at Jefferson Street Baptist Church before heading to TSU’s Gentry Center for the convocation ceremony. Rev. Kelly Miller Smith Jr., whose father, civil rights leader and key organizer Rev. Kelly Miller Smith, founded the Nashville Christian Leadership Council, is the keynote speaker.
