A <br />few years before desegregation, they had lost the driv ing force in the <br />personage of Principal A. L. Stanback. From the early 40's until 1964, <br />Mr. Stanback and his wife, Catherine, had been piv otal in the growth <br />and building of Central High School. Like the phoenix, Mr. Stanback <br />rebuilt the school when it burned, going from 400 students to 1200, <br />adding a gym, cafeteria and library. <br />W hites of Orange County will also be expected to be a part of the <br />greater community v iewing this documentary, for they, like blacks, <br />learned through their work and play with each other, especially <br />through sports, what it took to make school desegregation work, <br />thus making school desegregation the prototype for segregation <br />county-wide. <br />Hopefully, the documentary will inspire the school board, city council, <br />commissioners, and entrepreneurs in Hillsborough to v isualize the <br />need to make Central a historical landmark by gifting the school <br />building to the black community. community. That would not only be <br />a gift to Central’s alumni and their families, but also a gift to the <br />Hillsborough Community at large because it would become a <br />permanent historical marker, representing how all things came <br />together. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 26256A8B-377F-4012-A913-2B9A66298B30
