| Description: | Finding aid for a collection. Collection description: Manuscripts of 25 research papers written by students enrolled in the History 295 (Nashville and the Urban South) class at Vanderbilt University in spring semester 1977 and fall semester 1978. The papers cover cultural, social and political topics in Nashville in the period 1870-1940. Some examples of specific subjects are: the Jim Crow streetcar boycott; the Belle Meade Country Club; the growth of Nashville's first suburb, Edgefield; the civic elites of Nashville; the Nashville Police Department's enforcement of Prohibition; Black ideology in Nashville; the Black business community; and case studies of Nashville families in business. A summary of the course, with discussion of the papers, by professor Don Harrison Doyle is included and has the title: Nashville as historical laboratory for teaching undergraduates. |
