Green McAdoo Cultural Center and Museum

The Green McAdoo Cultural Center and Museum tells the compelling story of twelve high school students, who in 1956, braved threats of violence to attend Clinton High School, making it the first desegregated public high school in the South.

Tennessee holds the honor of having the first black graduate from an integrated public high school in the South after the Brown vs Board of Education landmark decision.

The Green McAdoo Cultural Center and Museum follows the chronologically detailed story of the 1956 desegregation of Clinton High School in life-size pictures with dramatic narrative.
