Black lawmaker hopes highway project can right an old wrong By JONATHAN MATTISE, Associated Press Published: July 22, 2021, 2:28pm Share: 3 Photos Tennessee State Rep. Harold Love, Jr. stands on an overpass over I-40, Monday, July, 19, 2021, near the site of his family's former home on the north side of Nashville, Tenn. Love Jr.'s father, a Nashville city councilman, was forced to sell his home near here to make way for the highway, but put up a fight in the 1960s against the rerouting of Interstate 40 because he believed it would stifle and isolate Nashville's Black community. Love Jr. is now part of a group pushing to build a cap across the highway, behind him, that creates a community space to help reunify the city. (AP Photo/John Amis)
