Watch video of the symposium “Vanderbilt and the Nashville Sit-In Movement: A 50-Year Retrospective.”
Vanderbilt marked the 50th anniversary of the Nashville sit-ins with a Feb. 22, 2010, symposium at the Student Life Center featuring some of the original participants. The sit-ins are considered models of disciplined non-violence and an early success of the civil rights movement.
