Love Jr. s father, a Nashville city councilman, was forced to sell his home near here to make way for the highway, but put up a fight in the 1960s against the rerouting of Interstate 40 because he believed it would stifle and isolate Nashville s Black community. Love Jr. is now part of a group pushing to build a cap across the highway, behind him, that creates a community space to help reunify the city. (AP Photo/John Amis)
