The Haynesvillle Colored High School football team posed for this photograph in front of the school in 1952. The school building was built in 1927 on 12 acres of land donated by Verge White. In 1960, the school was renamed Woodson High School in honor of Carter B. Woodson, a nationally known educator and historian. A total of 753 studets were graduated from this school. Can you identify any of these young men? (fb)
