Item description from seller

Single sheet, folded into four pages, 8 ½ by 5 ½ inches. Cover mentions day and location of the commencement, May 23rd at the W,W.O.W. Temple.

This school was a step toward providing real education to Black students in the area, as most of the students at that time attended "plantation" schools until they were old enough to work in the fields. The school offered vocational training, although apparently focusing on skills that would not conflict with occupations commonly held by white people (Texas State Historical Landmark text). The school changed its name to the W.D. Spigner High School in 1961, named after its long time headmaster. GOOD condition. Appears to have been removed from a scrapbook or photobook, as there are large areas of black paper adhered to the blank rear page. Horizontal fold crease present. Minor toning, wrinkling and creasing.…
