NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Nashville is getting it's first Rainbow Crosswalk!

Around 100 volunteers will gather at the intersection of 14th Street and Woodland in East Nashville to paint the rainbow!

The event will take place at 9 a.m. on June 29 and everyone is invited to stop by!

“It is historic for our city in one of our most historic locations, outside one of the most iconic lesbian-owned establishments in the country,” said Metro Nashville Council LGBTQ Caucus Chair and District 7 Councilmember Emily Benedict.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
