South Chick Greenway Civil Rights History Marker

Install a Civil Rights history marker on the South Chickamauga Greenway near Orchard Knob, recognizing the neighborhood's role in Chattanooga's Civil Rights movement. The marker would tell the story of the activists, churches, and community organizations that fought for integration and justice in this part of the city. Orchard Knob and the surrounding neighborhoods were central to Chattanooga's Civil Rights struggle, but most greenway users pass through without knowing this history. A well-designed marker would connect the trail experience to the deeper story of the community it serves, honoring the people who fought for the rights we exercise when we freely walk these paths.
