This really is surprising.  Especially Nashville.  The incumbent mayor of Nashville was pro-integration as early as 1960.  Also, my understanding is that the Crump machine in Memphis promoted black voting well prior to 1965.  Memphis is big enough that I would expect black registration in Tennessee to have outpaced the rest of the South in 1968.
