Today I got to interview our own Betsy Phillips about her re-discovery of Leander Woods, the formerly enslaved Civil War veteran who fought the KKK at Fort Negley Park, a UNESCO Site of Memory to protect Bass Street residents from white supremacist terror.

Writes Betsy Phillips, the city held a dedication ceremony at Diane Nash Plaza Saturday — a good reminder that we should have a civil rights museum.

64 years ago, Diane Nash marched to the courthouse to demand desegregation. Today she was back to receive her flowers.
