Clinton 12 Commemorative Walk
Description
On August 28th, we will be commemorating the 65 anniversary of twelve brave Clintonians walking down Foley Hill to desegregate Clinton High School and the American South.
We will honor; Maurice Soles, Anna Theresser Caswell, Alfred Williams, Regina Turner-Smith, William R. Latham, Gail Ann Epps Upton, Ronald Gordon "Poochie" Hayden, JoAnn Crozier Allen Boyce, Robert Thacker, Bobby Cain, and Minnie Ann Dickey Jones by walking down Foley Hill to what is now Clinton Middle School, making the same trek those brave students made back in 1956.
The Green McAdoo Center will be running an educational fair in our gymnasium from 12:00-1:45. At the fair will be representatives from different colleges in the area, as well as other resources for families and students. We will also have someone on site to help answer questions about FAFSA for our outgoing seniors and their families.
The walk will start at 2:00 from the Green McAdoo Cultural Center, and it will end at Clinton Middle School where Highlander Center Director, Ash-Lee Woodard Henderson will speak on the importance of the day.
