Nashville renames street after John Lewis

Just this week, it was decided by Nashville, Tennessee officials to name a very popular street after icon Rep. John Lewis. On November 5, the Council of Nashville and Davidson County decided that a section of Fifth Avenue will be named Rep. John Lewis Way. While Lewis was a representative of Atlanta in Congress, he began his activism in Nashville. He began college at the cityโ€™s American Baptist College and Fisk University. Back then, he started protesting to endorse civil rights. In 1960, Lewis was arrested as he protested at a segregated lunch counter in Nashville.
