Ep. 23 — the North Nashville Heritage Project's Learotha Williams

This week, we at the Scene present our annual People Issue, in which we talk to some of Nashville’s most interesting folks. You’ll meet mother and future student Seana Arrechaga, a soldier’s widow who doesn’t like how some people have appropriated her family’s grief. You’ll meet Nashville sideman and drummer extraordinaire Jerry Pentecost, and student activist Katherine Ledezma-Soto, along with attorney and advocate Alex Little, fiber artist Kate Madeira, and ballerina-turned-boxer Sarah London. Also in this week’s People Issue you’ll read Steven Hale’s profile of historian and professor Learotha Williams. Williams is an associate professor of African-American and public history at TSU who runs the North Nashville Heritage Project — an initiative to preserve and share stories of black history in North Nashville. This week on the Scenecast, Hale sits down to talk with Williams about some of the stories he’s collected over the years, and why his work is so important.
