Imagine Sending Your Black Kid to This High School!
Nathan Bedford Forrest was the first “grand wizard” of the Ku Klux Klan in the late 1800s. While Duval Public School District in Jacksonville, Fla., recently gained media attention after changing the name of local Nathan B. Forrest High School, the district is not the only one with a school named after the former Klansman. At least one other school in the country, located in Tennessee, bears the Confederate general’s name.
