This two-hour professionally narrated pictorial history of an American Institution, the RCTS, covers the existence of a high school for Blacks in Randolph County Alabama from 1919 - 1970. Hundreds of previously unpublished photos show all aspects of the school. This DVD has been used in a local history class at Handley High School in Roanoke. While it documents the history of RCTS,
it shows how dedicated principals, teachers,
parents, staff, students, and community advocates worked together to
ensure a top quality education for Black children in the age of Separate-but-Equal and Jim-Crowism. Read the DVD liner notes.
The DVD was produced by RCTS graduates Alvin Thornton, PhD ('67), Earnestine Thornton ('60), Lonnie C. Thornton ('58), and Gene Thornton ('62). The DVD is available for a donation of $20.00 or more (includes shipping). Send check or Money Order to:
