This is a "Colored" [African-American] schoolhouse of Corsicana, Texas of the 1950s photographed in the 1980s.
Did your high school look like this? Was your high school only for students of a particular skin color? If not, you have the US Department of Education to thank for it.

Tim Perttula long-time North Texas archaeologist, consultant for the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma, uncompromising perfectionist, and good friend, died this week.

Did you know that SMU and Dallas were fundamental in recognition of Monte Verde as a pre-Clovis site?
