Here is a photograph of two black, female students being escorted by an unmarked police car on their first day of school at Joseph E. Brown High School in Atlanta, GA on August 30, 1961.

Seen here is Girls' High School in 1925. Though the school started out as a few rooms above a shoe store in the 1870s, it eventually was moved to this building as more and more women enrolled over the years.
