Scene tip:
From the hallowed halls of Fisk University to the church basements where civil rights activists were trained in nonviolent protest, historically Black North Nashville has a storied past. Its current residents and small businesses continue the neighborhood’s legacy of artistic engagement, inventive cuisine and civic leadership. A 105-year-old Beaux Arts building houses the North Branch of Nashville Public Library. It is one of six Nashville libraries built as part of steel magnate Andrew Carnegie’s ambitious international philanthropic effort to provide cities and institutions with libraries. Nearby Silver Sands Cafe has been serving soul food to hungry residents for more than a half-century.
