The horror, the horror! A fictional sketch from This is Nashville

What, to the Black Nashvillian, is the scariest place in Nashville? It's Halloween, the spookiest day of the year. Ghosts and ghouls, razors in children's candy, and weirdos who still think it's funny to chase kids with chainsaws roam our sidewalk-less streets. But, for Black Nashville, today is not the only scary day. In fact, some might argue that it's scary to be Black all the time. The horrors of mass incarceration, gentrification, inaccessible public transit, interpersonal and institutional racism can make life... hard. But, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, or in our case, funnier. Today's episode is This Is Nashville's first ever sketch. For the full hour, host Khalil Ekulona and producer Elizabeth Burton will visit the scariest places in Nashville in search of beloved local celebrity, Willie "Big Fella" Sims.
