A Nashville Environmental Justice Initiative Story Archive A collaboration of the Nashville Environmental Justice Initiative, Urban Green Lab and Tennessee State University are creating a unique archive of oral histories to foster active community listening and address the growing issues brought by a shifting climate. The archive features the voices of some Nashville community members experiencing climate change first, worst, and longest. Each person shares their story, allowing us to document this moment in Nashville's history in their voice and perspective. Listen to the Archive Listener Note: These interviews may contain references to drug use, suicide, domestic violence, and illegal activities.
