Etched in glass, captured in time, history of the way things were in Nashville is engraved in the city's legacy but on Thursday at the state capitol an effort underway way to right a wrong.
"We can't change path of history we can look back on it with different perspective," says attorney Alex Little.
Little is a member of the Unsolved Civil Rights Cold Case Special Joint Committee and on Thursday it was his job to introduce Kwame Leo Lillard.
In 1960, he was a student when a house, belonging to Alexander Looby was bombed. At the time Looby was the city's top black lawyer. To this day, no one has ever been arrested for the crime or identified as a suspect.
"This was the fist time we had seen that hate, we knew the hate was there," Lillard said.
It has become the job of this bipartisan committee to try and solve this crime and others.
Yet, committee members admitted that even if they found who carried out the bombing, those suspects are likely dead.
Still though, a number of lawyers and law schools are donating their time to solve this civil rights crime and a handful others.
Even if no arrests are ever made the panel could at least recommend reconciliation in some form to those impacted.
