How Three Unsolved Bombings Shaped Nashville’s Future
Local historian Betsy Phillips — author of “Dynamite Nashville: Unmasking the FBI, the KKK, and the Bombers Beyond their Control”, out tomorrow from Third Man Books — joins host Grace Fuisz to discuss the three still-unsolved bombings that shook our town at the dawn of the Civil Rights Movement. She explains how those shocking events continue to reverberate through Nashville today, impacting our perspectives on intersectionality, law enforcement, and the white nationalists who marched through downtown earlier this month.
