Abstract:

W.E.B. DuBois High School was founded in 1926 as the Wake Forest Graded School and expanded to include high school in 1929. The school served African-American students until 1970, when a school integration program was established. The school was the focus of the African-American community in Wake Forest as it broadened the social and cultural capital of its students.
