From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Gadsden High School in Gadsden, Alabama was closed after the 2005-2006 school year. It consolidated with Emma Sansom High School and Litchfield High School to form Gadsden City High School.[1][2][3]
The school was involved in a historic case of racism against African American students in Alabama. Ten students including Jennie Patrick were discriminated against by both teachers and students after entering the school through people protesting about racial integration in schools.[4]
