In my hunt for headstones made by Nashville artist William Edmondson, I ended up at two African American cemeteries in Davidson County with, sadly, no Edmondsons, but complicated histories that are worthwhile to try to understand. We’ll get to the second one in the future.
Today, let’s focus on the Bryant Town Family Cemetery out in Donelson. Sherod Bryant came to Nashville before 1820. He was born in the early 1780s in either Virginia or North Carolina. A lot of things get said about Bryant, but tracking down actual primary sources is difficult. I’m certainly no exhaustive Bryant scholar, but it doesn’t appear that any trained historian is which is a shame, because there’s a lot of strange stuff going on with Bryant that would be interesting to know about.

Improving Trust Between Shreveport Police and Black Community
The Mayor s Commission on race has submitted a report on how to improve relations between police and the public.
Last year, Mayor Adrian Perkins charged this committee to “make recommendations on how to build trust between law enforcement and the communities of color.”
But Perkins also called on the panel to look at disparities and health outcomes with regard to COVID-19. He also asked the panel to look for other ways to improve race relations in Shreveport.
A subcommittee has been working on ways to improve trust between the Black community and police. This panel has presented a plan to the city council for ways to build trust. One key issue is the concern there is a lack of accountability which many claim causes mistrust.
