Nashville Black History Walking Tour

Come join us on a unique downtown Nashville walking tour! Imagine being able to look beyond the single-story narrative and get up close and personal with the soul of the Music City. Together we’ll trace the footsteps of legendary musicians such as country music star Charley Pride, and the iconic Fisk Jubilee Singers. Combine that with a splash of storytelling about early black life in Nashville with United Street Tours. Enjoy strolling from Lower Broadway, the most visited street in Nashville; then alongside the peaceful Riverfront Park, and into the historic 5th Ave of the Arts District. After covering early black life in Nashville, we’ll move into the civil rights era and enter, Woolworth on 5th, the site of the first lunch counter sit-ins during the 1960s Civil Rights Movement in Nashville. This tour combines early black history and civil rights history in one experience.
