==Civil Rights movement==
Cain-Sloan was a target of one of the earliest sit-in protests by young African-Americans in Nashville during the Civil Rights Movement. On December 5, 1959, future Congressman John Lewis led a group of college students who entered the store intending to sit at its lunch counter. They were politely asked to leave, and they did so.〔John Lewis, ''Walking with the Wind'', pp. 88-89; ISBN 0-15-600708-8〕 After the march 19 April 1960 on Nashville's courthouse and the admission by Mayor Ben West that lunch counters "ought to be desegregated",〔(NewsChannel 5.com - Nashville, Tennessee - Nashville Sit-ins )〕 Cain-Sloan and other downtown Nashville stores quietly opened their counters to all races as of May 10, 1960.
