 * Perhaps they tell a different story now, but Humphreys Academy was established because the Federal Government insisted on integrated schools. Here's source on the subject. We don't put whatever we want into Wikipedia, information needs to be verified and documented by reliable sources. Primary sources are to be avoided. The article is about the school, it is not for promoting the school. Please read WP:NOT for more information on what Wikipedia is not.Jacona (talk) 18:52, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I was able to find (pictorially) that in 2017 HA had 0 black seniors, and in 2018, there was one (and he was valedictorian). That doesn't change anything as far as the school's founding, and it can't be added to the article as it would be WP:OR. Perhaps you can find a reliable source that shows that they have at least had a black student graduate? Jacona (talk) 23:54, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

Justin foxworth was also an African American graduate in 2018. It was only two but that’s 2 out of 14 total kids. We have two more young men graduating this year one of which, Kenny colston, was elected Mr HA, as was Justin foxworth the year before him. We also had an African American on our homecoming court this year. I doubt that Facebook pages would be considerate reliable sources so I guess I’ll just leave it as it is for now since there’s no official school link to a list that includes ethnicity or gallery of students.
 * Thanks for your efforts! The tax status from 50 years ago shows the school was a seg academy, that's why it's in the article - that's pretty common in articles about this kind of school. The link you provided went to a generic IRS page, feel free to try again! ... Foxworth was the one I found in 2018. That was from my personal observation looking at pictures in a source and so it might not be accurate and would be considered original research. While searching for sources, the school has obviously changed somewhat, but it is still almost all white while the public school remains almost all black. It's also shrunk significantly, based on sources I found from the late 60s.Jacona (talk) 13:23, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
