You mean the middle school that served inner-city Huntsville that was closed. And the low-income housing around is about to be demolished for green space.. That school.!? This is what gentrification looks like.

Non Black Americans trying to explain to us what our ethnicity is is brazy
For the uneducated Trump supporters that will say Kamala isn’t African American because her family is Jamaican:
92% of Jamaicans are Black. She was born in Oakland. So being of African heritage and American, means she’s African American.

And please don’t tell me the school was closed for x amount of years. It was underfunded for x amount of years before it closed. Students without books who had to copy material from the board. Who wants to learn like that

So the school in question is Roy L. Stone Middle School which was the earlier site for S.R. Butler High School. Now growing up I always thought Butler and Stone were all black schools through its history but they were not .

Anyway.!!!! Back to the story. These schools we built to suit Huntsvilles Boom in the 40-60’s when Redstone Arsenal and NASA began to drive the Huntsville Economy. I didn’t put it all together until a few years ago because nobody’s really talks about this stuff.

Now this is Alabama and even though Brown v Board was in 54 we were still segregated until 69. And till this day in certain areas. Hence the state still being under Unitary Status

Now when deseg happened all the black schools closed because separate but equal was never the plan and they didn’t want to give the funds or potentially have non blacks going to formerly predominantly black schools with black teachers

And sure enough I was right. Throughout my journeys through history I found out public housing started as a way to help wartime efforts in America before they were used to rob black people of generational wealth.

So the housing projects that I once played in weren’t built for us we were just pushed into them. Which is pretty much the entire story of housing projects.
Now Huntsville thought it was slick and at the time integration was king.

Now with integration of housing and schools you have the perfect recipe for declining property values, White flight and schools being underfunded.

Like I said I know people that went to Butler and on separate occasions the same story was told about them coming here due to there parents working on the Arsenal and they both played ball at Butler.

Or the area being gentrified Mason Court and Butler Terrace were feeders to the schools. Take the schools first then take the community

Now that doesn’t make the incidents salacious until you go back and see how things changed. And integration wouldn’t have changed the demographics that drastically. Until you start putting peices together.

Are you tweeting this from America by any chance
I saw someone say “Beyoncé is reclaiming U.S. patriotism” to show “Black Americans remain the architects of this country.” *yawn* —there is no reclaiming what that flag represents on stolen land. It is a symbol of imperialism and a reactionary aesthetic.
