Nashville: The Homeless Plan

Homeless advocates and community members gather in Church Street Park on January 18 to memorialize Jimmy Fulmer, who died on the steps of an East Nashville church in early January. Demonstrators, including the new director and members of the Metro Homelessness Commission, carried a symbolic casket, chanted, sang and marched to the Commission meeting to call attention to the need for more affordable housing.
