"Nashville's Metropolitan Historical Commission continues to help our city recognize and preserve important stories from our collective LGBTQ past... Jackie Shane's life is an incredible tale of courage and living authentically in spite of oppression, and now her legacy will carry on for all Nashvillians, especially for Black and transgender people."
"Though she was not associated with specific gay or transgender liberation movements, her willingness to live openly as a transgender woman forever changed culture across the United States and Canada."
"The mission of the Metropolitan Historical Commission is to document history, save and reuse buildings, and make the public more aware of the necessity and advantages of preservation."
"We are truly blessed and honored that all these people care so much for our Aunt Jackie," Douglas said.
