War Memorial Plaza is a public space located in the heart of downtown Nashville, Tennessee. The plaza was dedicated in 1925 to honor the Tennesseans who served in World War I. The centerpiece of the plaza is the Tennessee War Memorial, a towering monument made of white marble that features an allegorical sculpture depicting the triumph of good over evil. The monument is flanked by fountains and surrounded by gardens filled with native plants.

The plaza also features a number of smaller memorials and monuments, including a statue of President Andrew Jackson, who was a Tennessee native and hero of the War of 1812. Other memorials honor Tennesseans who served in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The plaza is a popular spot for events and gatherings, and it is often used as a venue for concerts, festivals, and political rallies.

In recent years, the plaza has also become a site for protests and demonstrations, particularly in response to social and political issues. The plaza's central location and historical significance make it an important symbol of Tennessee's military heritage and civic identity.

Frankie Pierce Mural - Nashville, TN This mural to local activist Frankie Pierce is in Nashville's new park near downtown which is also named after her. This is painted on the side of a retaining wall for where CSX tracks have a bridge over Nelson Merry St.

The mural includes this quote:
&quot;We are optimistic because we have faith in the best of the country, of Nashville&quot; - Frankie Pierce (May 1920)

Here is the description of Frankie Pierce from a nearby marker:
Juno Frankie (Seay) Pierce was born in Nashville near the end or just after the Civil War. Pierce was educated at the Joseph G. McKee Freedman School, the first free African American school in Nashville, and at Roger Williams College, one of four freedman's colleges in the city. She was a member of the nearby First Baptist Colored Church, now First Baptist Church, Capitol Hill.

Frankie Pierce worked throughout her life for equality and human dignity, leading the creation of black branches of the YWCA and the Red Cross, and championing the Tennessee Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, the Negro Voters League and other civic groups.

On May 18, 1920, Pierce was the only African American to address the state woman's suffrage convention. She presented a poignant defense of racial and gender equality, drawing on the common bonds formed by women's service organizations during World War One. On August 18, 1920, the 19th Amendment was ratified, giving American women the right to vote. African American women and other women of color were still often excluded from having full voting rights and were not fully enfranchised until the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Later, Pierce and the League of Women Voters successfully secured state funds to open the Tennessee Vocational School for Colored Girls in North Nashville, where she served as superintendent until 1939.

Pierce remained an impactful activist and advocate until her death in 1954.
