First Day of School 1957

In 1957, Erroll Groves with his mother, Mrs. Iridella Groves, and other family members walked up to the doors of Buena Vista School on the first day of school, Sept. 9, 1957. A total of 15 black first graders entered the school and desegregation was established in Nashville, including one of our own Deputy Mayor's, Brenda Haywood.
