King Madison Hollands, a member of the Nashville Student Movement, which challenged racial segregation in Nashville in the 1960s, died Wednesday at the age of 82 in Nashville.
The cause of death was not immediately known.
A Nashville native, Hollands was in the first class of 14 Black students to integrate the all-male Father Ryan High School after the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling Brown v. Board of Education.
In a 2006 interview with the Nashville Public Library, Hollands reflected on his time at Father Ryan.
