Advancing Equality Day on the Hill
More than 100 people from all parts of Tennessee convened in Nashville on Tuesday, Feb. 17, for the Tennessee Equality Project Advancing Equality Day on the Hill. Now in its six year, this year’s group was bigger than those in years past, and according to TEP President Christopher Sanders, had the most geographic diversity than any other group.
