Any other of other possible names here @FloridaArmy. I'm striking out on any sourcing, but know records/names were inconsistent Star Mississippi 02:42, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My thoughts on this one are to see if it can be expanded a bit, but at least it can be merged to the education section of the town article. Typically schools like Alma Brown High School for Blacks served surrounding areas in the county as well so that's not a perfect solution. User:PigeonChickenFish you thoughts?

The local school for African Americans during segregation was Charles Phillip Adams High School, founded in 1962, and named after Charles P. Adams the founder of Grambling College (now Grambling State University).^[1]^[2] This current URL in the citation is problematic (a blog post) and my access to Newspapers.com is down right now. I imagine there were also earlier African American schools before 1962, such as the Oberlin Colored School I was not able to find any references to Alma Brown High School or Alma J. Brown High School in any sources, but there was a Alma J. Brown Elementary School in Grambling, Louisiana. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 19:46, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
