Green McAdoo Multicultural Center.
Fifty years ago, 12 young people from East Tennessee walked into history and changed the world.
On Saturday, February 27th at 3pm, join us as we learn about the desegregation of Clinton High school and the Jim Crow era. Similar to our trip to the East Tn Historical Museum, afterwards we will have a quick discussion about what we learned and pray.
About the center:
Come in and join the class as Ms. Theresa Blair discusses the “Jim Crow” era in the South, the rights of her students at Green McAdoo, and desegregation of Clinton High School. She will introduce you to the local 1950 lawsuit, McSwain et al vs. Anderson County, and its relationship to the landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown vs. Board of Education… all of which led to the desegregation of Clinton High School in 1956.
