On August 27, 1956, twelve young people in Clinton, Tennessee walked into history and changed the world. They were the first students to desegregate a state-supported high school in the south. Clinton High School holds the honor of having the first Black to graduate from a public high school in the South. It was a great victory for the Civil Rights Movement.  Learn the fascinating history of the twelve and how they not only changed a community but a nation at the Green McAdoo Cultural Center.
