Tennessee State professor helping create civil rights app

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A Tennessee State University history professor is working with Apple Inc. and a national technology center at the university to create an app highlighting some of the lesser known participants in the civil rights movement in North Nashville.

The university says Learotha Williams has worked to draw attention to those people for more than a decade.

The app will lead people on a walking tour of key landmarks and offer interviews Williams conducted through his North Nashville Heritage Project.

The app is expected to be completed by May.
