A Little Nashville History: Hadley Park
Hadley Park, established in 1912, is one of the first public parks established for African Americans in the United States.
Preston Taylor’s efforts should also be remembered with this fact. I don’t know the defining stipulation for first public park But I think this fact has been misrepresented in the city of Nashville. Greenwood Park was a 40 acre amusement park and green space built for and by African American predates Hadley Park. Greenwood Cemetery is the only remaining part of the original park.
Looking forward to the African Street Festival !
The African American Cultural Alliance does a great job of bringing art forms like Capoeira to the main stage for everyone to experience.
