Reviews
"Good tour but I think overpriced. Informative and dives into history although I thought would go farther back into slavery times."
"Highly recommend! We learned so much about Nashville civil rights history. A highlight of our trip. Had a great walk around town seeing important local historical points about civil rights. Our guide was great!"
"Dear Future Challenger, Ready or not, your life is about to change. Once you open yourself to this opportunity, you will see many things through a new lens. It's convicting, it's compelling, it's challenging, and it's worth it. You will be privy to new perspectives and new friends. You will learn how to call someone out--including yourself; and how to call someone in. You will practice how to do this in a safe place so you can then do it in places that require more risk. And here's the amazing thing--you'll want to. This experience is humbling and empowering all at the same time, and you will be far richer for it."
"I am so impressed by Chakita. She has taken time to create a safe space for other races to learn about what it means to be Black in America. I have learned so much from her group and her honesty. She pushes us to honestly look at ourselves and see our impact. Thank you for allowing us to learn from you. I am forever grateful to you!"
"My husband and I took several Nashville walking tours this summer during our vacation. The civil rights tour was truly the best one. Chakita and Ogden are exceptional storytellers. You feel like you are there, watching the students of the civil rights movement march down 5th Avenue, walk into the department store, and courageously sit-in demanding equality for all."
