An impressive accomplishment achieved by the actions of the Nashville Student Movement, was the ending of segregation in Nashville. Causing Nashville to lead the way for desegregation in our country, acting as an example for other American cities to follow. This accomplishment was earth shattering and even more impressive, the people of this movement accomplished this goal in the south. James Lawson, a vitally important member of the movement, served as an effective mentor for the younger generation.
