Black leaders march down Jefferson Street at the head of a group of 3000 demonstrators April 19, 1960, and heading toward City Hall on the day of the Z. Alexander Looby bombing.  This storyline follows the route of the protestors and tells their stories on a day that started desegregation in Nashville.
