NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Jefferson Street is in the heart of North Nashville and has long been celebrated for its vibrant culture, rich history and an impressive lineup of nearly 90 Black-owned businesses.

Known for its delectable cuisine, historic HBCUs and soulful music, this iconic street has become the center of a new preservation initiative to safeguard the legacy of these businesses.

The historical society's passion and protection for this world gem is nonstop, as Historic Jefferson Street is the only Black Wall Street in the US with 50+ Black-owned businesses.

The reimagining and redevelopment of North Nashville is at a crossroads.

While other areas of the city may be nearly blank slates for redevelopment, North Nashville boasts a vibrant history, thriving business district and a community deeply invested in preserving its culture and landmarks.
