Honoring Black high schools that are no longer open

[cujoforlife02]

Tyler High should do the same thing that Lufkin is doing with dumber high school. And honor Emmett Scott high school. Both schools could do it with wear away and home uniforms. 
 

thoughts?

No problem with honoring whoever. Here in Orange it would be Wallace high. Look em up if you don't know.

Idk about them. The reason why I said not still open. Because, historical black high schools in the big cities some of them are still open.

That was not a historical Black high school.

What is a historical Black high school in reference to this thread?

 In my opinion those were high schools for Black students because they were not allowed in White schools.

I believe that most or probably all of them for sports played in the Prairie View Interscholastic League because like the high schools, Black high schools were not allowed in the current UIL. These schools no longer exist and any reference to them as a throw-back honor would truly be for a “former” historical Black high school.

In Jefferson County I can think of three school districts with historical Black high schools but maybe there were others. Those were PAISD Lincoln, BISD Charlton Pollard (not to be confused with BCP) and SPISD Hebert.

Hebert Panthers (Blue/Gold?)

Charlton-Pollard Bulldogs (Blue/White?)

Lincoln Bumblebees (Purple/Gold)

Any others?

Denison honored their PVIL HS with decals 2 or 3 years ago...and Midland Legacy honored Midland Carver last year in a game...those are the ones I recall off the top of my head

Livingston’s Dunbar. 

[Bulldogs92]

Jasper's J.H. Rowe High School. I have a ton of love for the schools that were rivals of the Bulldogs, too, like Lincoln and Hebert. Bringing this subject up is a great idea.

Just CP Bulldogs.  BCP was created in 75

In the Crosby area it would be the Charles R. Drew High School Dragons out of Barrett Station, TX. The district eventually merged with Crosby ISD and the Crosby Buffalos to form the Crosby Cougars

Don’t confuse a majority Black campus by population with a historically Black school.

For a history lesson, it goes back to a Supreme Court ruling 130 years ago in Plessy v. Ferguson. In that ruling the Supreme Court said that concept of “separate but equal” was not in itself discrimination and so state mandated segregation of the races was not unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. (passed in 1868, right after the Civil War)

So some states allowed or mandated separate schools for Blacks.

Those separate schools were because Blacks weren’t allowed in other schools. That was the legality of the then historical Black schools.

My mother graduated from Beaumont High School which was a (one of the) White campus in BISD and it later merged with Charlton-Pollard also of BISD, the historical Black school for that district. That created BCP. 

BCP then later combined with the other BISD high school, French, to form Central.  (French was for a short time in FISD) So what was eventually Central high school was the combination of the two White high schools of BISD and the Black high school. So French ISD was taken into Beaumont ISD which was later taken into South Park ISD to form today’s BISD which started as 3 different districts.

 I believe that is the meaning of a historical Black school. It was a school created by forced segregation.

 That was overturned 62 years later by the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education, although I think it took the Civil Rights of 1964 to start enforcing  it.
