Pemberton High School

Thank you, Pemberton Panthers, for your help in reaching classmates who went to Rosenwald Elementary School. The Class of 1967 really appreciate you for connecting us to those who provided valuable information. If you are not familiar with Rosenwald schools, please google Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington and learn how their friendship resulted in schools being built throughout the South for Black students. It is a fascinating part of our history.

Here's hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas, and that the New Year will bring all that you desire.

During this holiday season, please take a moment and watch The Six Triple Eight on Netflix. So much of our history was hidden from us and continues to be hidden from us. We all went to Pemberton High School but how many of us knew that we were literally across the street from The Great Debaters at Wiley College? It took Hollywood to uncover that amazing story. The Six Triple Eight is a movie that will uplift, enlighten and inspire you. Our Black history must be discovered, celebrated and protected.

It's just not Christmas until The Temptations sing, "In my mind..."

The Temptations - Silent Night (Extended Version / Visualizer) Silent Night by The Temptations. Listen to more Christmas music from The Temptations! https://TheTemptations.lnk.to/ChristmasCardID https://TheTemptations.ln...

What are your holiday plans? Do those who moved away return to Marshall for Thanksgiving or Christmas?

HBP Class of 1967 lost Charles Walker last Sunday after a long illness. We will miss his presence from our class reunions. Charles was always surrounded by his reunion crew when he came. Here he is with Thomas Boyd. At our Christmas parties, we would take pictures with our grade school classmates. Charles and Thomas went to Rosenwald Elementary School. RIP Charles Walker
