On
September 4, 1957 Delois Huntley becomes the first black student at
the old Alexander Graham Junior High
on Morehead Street. Her first day's experience is less eventful than
any of the other desegregation pioneers.
At the end of the school
year, the old A.G. School will be torn down and a new one will be
built several miles away off Colony Road. Rather than travel
the distance to the new school, Delois transfers
to Second Ward High School,
where she graduates in 1963.
