On August 26, 1956, twelve young African American students walked into history in Clinton, TN. They were the first students to desegregate a state-supported high school in the south, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Brown vs. The Board of Education.

Bobby Cain, pictured far left, was among the group of 12, and was recognized recently by GNABSE at the annual Awards and Scholarship Gala.
