African American High Schools in Louisiana Before 1970

Charles P. Adams High School, Oberlin, Louisiana, Allen Parish was an afterthought in Allen Parish. African American education in Oberlin, Louisiana was self-directed from its early beginnings and paradoxically its foundations still exist as a basketball court. Mysterious origins and glorious and triumphant existence succumbed to a murky termination. Its  footprint is a memory of past struggles and victories.
