SJR 165 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Memorials, Recognition - Jefferson Street Historical Society -

SJR 165 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the Jefferson Street Historical Society (JSHS), a Nashville nonprofit founded in 2023. It formally commends JSHS for preserving Jefferson Street - a historic Black-owned business corridor known as "Nashville's Black Wall Street" - and its cultural heritage. The resolution has no policy impact; it solely offers symbolic recognition of the society’s community work, including revitalization efforts and preserving the street’s musical history. This is a standard commemorative resolution, not a law with concrete policy changes.
