The Woolworth building, opened in 1925, became a pivotal site in the Civil Rights Movement when student-led sit-ins challenged segregation at its lunch counter. View Beyond the Counter, a photo gallery created in partnership with the Nashville Public Library. The gallery depicts crucial scenes from the Civil Rights Movement that took place in Downtown Nashville.

The gallery is open to the public at the Woolworth Theatre on Fridays from 4 - 5 PM. For group reservations, please email [email protected].
