There's no vegetation to strip away here. Fort Negley still looks incredible in LiDAR, because the geometry itself is the whole point.

A HUGE thanks to @FortNegley for allowing @USN_PDS students to share local Black history at the place where it all started. The “Nashville Uncovered” performances were purely magical!

The artist William Edmondson was also a descendant of @FortNegley. His family members Persil and Orange were enslaved and made to cut stone to help build the largest inland stone fortification of the Civil War.

Today I got to interview our own @AuntB about her re-discovery of Leander Woods, the formerly enslaved Civil War veteran who fought the KKK at @FortNegley to protect Bass Street residents from white supremacist terror. We're standing right about where his home was in Napier.

Rain did not keep @USN_PDS 5th graders from visiting @FortNegley to learn about Nashville’s history. Best way to learn is standing right on the land where it all happened! @NegleyFriends
