[0598] Clinton High School Desegregation from the Knoxville Journal Collection, 1956, 1958 [digital photograph collection]

Location: Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection, Knox County Public Library, 601 S. Gay Street, 3rd Floor, Knoxville, TN 37902

Description: Black-and-white photograph from September 1956 of speechwriter and segregationist Asa Carter, a member of the White Citizens Council in Alabama, speaking against the integration of Clinton High School in Anderson County, Tennessee. Carter is surrounded by white children as he speaks. Federal courts ordered schools in Clinton, Tennessee, to integrate "with all deliberate speed" in 1956. On September 1, Carter, who wrote fiction under the name Forrest Carter, and fellow segregationist John Kasper made speeches against the school's integration by twelve African American students. After the speeches, violence in the city grew to the point that National Guard troops were brought into the city to keep order. Kasper was later charged with inciting a riot for his speech. Also, photographs of Clinton High School desegregation (1956), National Guardsman patrol the Clinton, Tennessee community (1956), National Guardsmen at Clinton High School (1956), Students opening doors at Clinton High School (1956), National Guardsmen outside Clinton High School (1956), Students walking to Clinton High School (1956), and Clinton High School after bombing (1958).
