HOLD UP! At one point, this is grossly misleading, that Hobgood Academy is a part of either city or school district, creating the severe illusion of strictly black (the only Halifax students used) versus white. Hobgood Academy is an all-white private school in Halifax County, one of 4 private schools within the county. They are not within any of the school districts, work completely separate from any of the other districts, BUT can receive public/state/county funds allocated towards education if they allow 'a minority' to attend. Also, why leave out representation from Roanoke Rapids City Schools (that prinarily handed down those books to the black schools) & Weldon City Schools (experiencing similar challenges as Halifax)?
