- Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee was the first public high school that underwent court order desegregation. This is the story of twelve brave students who didn't give up on their right for a public education. Learn where schools stand today on equity issues, 60 years after Brown v. Board of Education, at www.nea.org/schoolequity.

I am so sorry for the Clinton 12
Jo Ann Boyce is great in speeches! 1956 - Present :)
Thank you Ciara W. & Malaich.
My Aunt Minnnie Ann Dickey was and is one of the Clinton 12. The emotions I carry are twofold privileged & sorrow, my family members had never spoke of this event until the first ceremony took place to honor them, in Clinton Tn yrs ago. We sat in that Church and listened to the documentary of how our family members & others had to hid during the riots, hearing this for the very first time we sat there in tears & in disbelief!
Blacks & Caucasians sitting together you could have heard a pin drop, that event traumatised my Aunt Minnnie that's why she didn't speak about again. Aunt Minnnie told stories of how frightening is was to walk the hallways of Green McAdoo high school they were hit, spat at, called horrible name's I'm honored to call her my Aunt in the photograph she's the tall beautiful Lady in the stripped dress, on the right. However traumatic it was, she turned out to be a loving and very kind person. I'm so honored to say that she was apart of a group of young black teenagers that changed the face of history. Thank you Clinton 12!
My sister & I recently went to Clinton Tennesse for business and I can honestly say, we meet some of the most genuinely nicest people in Clinton old & young. So in my opinion change did come!
Stay & be BLESSED
It must hp e very cool for Cameron Boyce to have someone in his family apart of this amazing history!
So incredible what history has brought us. Cameron had a great family and life.
joann is cameron boyace grandma
Suelen C. We all know that
thanks to Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King we have a free country
There are more people like John F Kennedy
This is not a free country and will never be what kind of hate is this for anyone to feel the world is free. What they did was lead us into a burning building.
Lindsey Underwood and Little Rock Nine!
Lol yeah right.

The Clinton 12 stood for equality for all. I hope this generation understands all the difficult effort it took for them to have an education and take advantage of every opportunity that was given to them. Thank you Clinton 12.

Preach honey, you know the struggle they went through to get were we are now!⛪

Great short doc. So many stories that aren't common knowledge but should be. I will share on our Plessy and Ferguson Facebook page. Thank you.
thx for changing the world you rock clinton 12
I was never taught, therefore I do not understand! The concept brings tears to my eyes and a deep agonizing pain to my heart! I thank my parents for not teaching me this attribute of unjustified hatred! I thank my parents for teaching me to love God and all of His marvelous creations! I was never taught.....racism! It's such an ugly word! I thank the Clinton 12 for their bravery and for helping to pave the way for me! I pray that society opens it's heart to racial equality. With tears in my eyes, I pray!
Thank you, enjoyed hearing about this story. How brave they were.
My Aunt Is Alvah J McSwain Lambert, I Love you so much for what you have done. For me to be your nefew is a honor to have you in my life. You have given me joy and direction along with love unconditionally ,I Love you ....Lainel
Such an amazing video, love it 😍
I never knew any of this. Thank you for sharing! (I knew about the elementary school and the issues overall, but not specifically about Clinton High School.)
I can tell you loads about it all. I am Elizabeth, granddaughter of Sidney and Eleanor Davis. If you have any questions or anything please feel free to message me. I hope that you have a blessed day!
Went to high school in Clinton. The town itself is one of the most depressing places you’ll ever go. There’s a certain vibe you get every time you drive through it.
JoAnn is Cameron boyces grandma❤❤
For equality in this sad world
this is the best history video ever
Tão linda a história da avó do cameron eu tenho muito orgulho e muito carinho por essa família abençoada.
Rip CAMERON
My grandma knew Cameron's grandma i only met her once before Cameron was on disney to go walk to her house to give her cookies my grandma made they lived close to eachother
There was the clinton 12, and the other 9 students I believe in a different high school who were escorted however
this made me smile ☺
I love history and I am 12
Hi,my name is Elizabeth and I am the granddaughter of Sidney and Eleanor Davis. My grandfather was the judge in Clinton,Tn that helped to push the desegregation through. I have lots of stories,photos, recordings of my grandmother's interview on national news after her classroom was bombed in retaliation for the students coming to join Clinton High School. Anyway,you can message me if you would like and I even have a book I can send you that my uncle wrote and published. Hope to hear from you and have a blessed day
I love history and I'm only 9
so beatiful. they have a beautiful hearts there brave they tell us right are wrong
Love it
Alfred Williams is a wonderful man . Very sad he was a alcolholic and stayed drunk. He's mother was verbalky mean to him. After she died GOD turned this man around! Alcolholic free thank God and Bless you Alfred in heaven!!
Grew up there, people just blew up excess ordinance shipped back home from the war. To acquire more funds for our highschool.
At first I was like cool but I realized it is history
So sad 😢
My Grandfather, a Police Officer , was one of those protecting these great kids , fighting for that which was right!
However, the NEA is what needs reform today. 😎🇺🇸👍
Hi,my name is Elizabeth and I'm the granddaughter of Sidney and Eleanor Davis. My grandfather walked with the students as well that day and was a judge in Clinton that helped push through the desegregation of Clinton High. My grandmother's classroom was bombed by local kkk idiots and even burned crosses in the yard and broke windows out in there house. Though my grandparents stood strong and I even have the copies of the vhs tapes from my grandmother's interview on national news. It would be great to talk. You can message me if you like. Have a blessed day!
carman grandmother was one
it's Cameron dummy
+Carmon Fiveash it was a spelling error u shouldn't say that
+Koyogi right
she saw there heart and just throwing us out
Why would this happen to people? Why were people so mean?
I ask myself that every time I think about segragation
Well because along time ago, parents would teach there kids the way their parents did. It was like brain washing young humans. if you were taught girls wear pink and boys wear blue, then you would believe that cause you were taught that.
My grandparents were Sidney and Eleanor Davis! Yes there were atrocious acts from ignorant people. They put a bomb in my grandmother's classroom!
I like history a lot and I'm only 8
me to
If y’all didn’t like it then why did y’all watch it
What are you talking about
with people are just mene that time
Who are the 21 heartless fools that disliked this vid?
My mom is in Clinton 12
Wait.
SKIN DOSENT MATTER ITS WHAT IS ON THE INSIDE THAT COUNTS WHO AGREES AND BTW IF YOU UNLIKED YOU HAVE NO HEART
Disney Brought me here
jalen put that
Intergration? Yessssss I love it ;)
So mean
I worked with Alfred. He was hilarious! I remember he overheard a girl talking about there not being any good men left and he spoke up and said if you lose some weight you'll find yourself a good man 😂
There is nothing funny about this
I can't believe someone my skin color to be this mean if you have on like this video and you're probably someone who disagrees with someone so famous and while just so so
i hate that we felt like we had to be at svhool with them. they didnt want us why beg them to let us learn their history and lies. those leaders were better off teaching home schools. let everyone skilled in their field teach something. i hate thw way they did us.
Angela Hall because they got better education
my last name is crozier..
Do u know Cameron Boyce because that's his grandmother
Wow #blackhistory month
Today at the opening of the Tennessee State Museum, I met one of the Clinton Twelve. We got to speak only briefly, but I would love to know her name. If like to write a letter of send a card. Any Way to help?
If u dislike ur racist....probably

Most of the racist people from Clinton 12 are still alive and that bothers me 😂
with people are just mene that time
