The First Tennessee African American Legislators

ADD TO CALENDAR

Kathy Lauder, a retired researcher from the Tennessee Library and Archives, will be the speaker for a program entitled “The First Tennessee African American Legislators.” Ms. Lauder taught high school English and dramatic arts for 30 years, then spent 10 years in Archival Technical Services at the TSLA before her retirement. Her work at the archives included research about 19th century Tennessee African American legislators which culminated in the TSLA Black History website. She and her husband, Mike Slate, are the editors of the Nashville Historical Newsletter, and they have published two books of essays from the newsletter: The Confederate Twenty-Dollar Irony (2004) and From Knickers to Body Stockings (2006).

Free parking is available in the parking lot which is located between the Museum and the Nashville Farmers’ Market. There is also free two-hour parking available along 6th and 7th Avenues. Because there are a limited number of these spots used by both Museum and Farmers' Market visitors, it is highly recommended that on the weekends, visitors seek alternate modes of transportation to visit the Museum.

Terms and conditions of use may vary according to the requested lot.
