Nashville's Jefferson Street Sound Museum and the Museum of Christian and Gospel Music have been added to Tennessee’s portion of the U.S. Civil Rights Trail. The Jefferson Street Sound Museum shows how music, culture, and activism brought together artists like Jimi Hendrix, Etta James, Ray Charles, James Brown, Tina Turner, Little Richard and countless others to the area. The Museum of Christian and Gospel Music shows the powerful role the genre and its artists played as a source of hope, unity, and inspiration during the Civil Rights Movement.
