Diane Judith Nash was born in 1938, in Chicago, Illinois. She was raised a Catholic and attended public and Catholic schools. Nash even considered becoming a nun. After graduating high school, she first attended Howard University in Washington, D.C., but transferred to Fisk University in Nashville in 1959. It was in Tennessee that Diane Nash first experienced the segregated South. She saw signs that said “white, white-only, colored.” Many public places like the library, parks, and swimming pools were segregated. When she remembered that time, Nash said “I was at a period where I was interested in expanding, going new places, seeing new things, meeting new people. So that felt very confined and uncomfortable.” In the South, one of the things unavailable to Nash and other African-Americans was the ability to sit at lunch-counters. This meant that Black customers would have to order their food and eat outside of the restaurant.

The exact site of Ash Dome in the Snowdonia region of northwest Wales is a closely guarded secret, and film crews or photographers who are permitted to see it are reportedly taken on a circuitous route to guard its location.
