SUMMARY:Alexander v. Holmes County Freedom Trail Marker Unveiling
DESCRIPTION:The U. S. Supreme Court’s 1969 decision in the Beatrice Alexander v Holmes County Board of Education case is perhaps one of the least-recognized but most significant single victories for school integration in this country. Originating in Holmes County\, MS\, and named for Beatrice Alexander\, a student in the county school district\, the decree mandated segregated schools throughout the nation to end the delay that existed since 1954 and integrate immediately. A marker on grounds where Beatrice attended school etches the Holmes County community’s influence on school integration into the annals of this nation’s history.  \n\nDate: June 17\, 2025 | Time: 10:00 am | Location: S. V. Marshall Elementary School 12572 MS Highway 12 Lexington\, MS (on MS Highway 12\, between Lexington and Tchula).
