what was integration in 1971 in the town of alexandria
T. C. Williams High School In 1965 the city integrated schools.[6]:69 In 1971 the city consolidated all high school students into T. C. Williams, so that the school became Alexandria's only public senior high school serving 11th and 12th graders.[6]:69[7][8] The city's freshmen and sophomores attended Francis C. Hammond and George Washington, the other former four-year schools involved in the three school consolidation.[9] While T. C. Williams and George Washington were already integrated in 1971, Hammond was nearly all white, while the city was about one-fifth black.[7][10] Currently, "T. C." serves 10th through 12th grades while freshmen go to the T. C. Williams Minnie Howard Campus, located 0.6 miles (1.0Â km) from the main building. Two middle schools, Francis C. Hammond Middle School (1.8 miles west), and George Washington Middle School (2.0 miles south east), serve 6th through 8th grade students and are housed in the former high schools.
