SGT (Join to see) - When I was a student at Kirby Smith here in Gainesville in the middle 1950's the school was segregated. Then when my family moved to Daytona Beach in 1955 I attended North Ridgewood Elementary which was segregated just as Mainland Junior and Senior High was segregated at that time. I never attended Seabreeze
High School but I'm sure segregation was in effect there also. If I recall correctly Campbell High School in Daytona was African-American students in the 50's and early 60's. Segregation of schools in the south was what I experienced early in my life.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I remember going into the F.W. Woolworth store here in Gainesville with my father when I was a little kid and seeing two water fountains.
One had a sign above it "colored" and the other had a sign above it "white". Segregation is what I experienced early in my life.

SPC Woody Bullard Ya, I never experience that until my first trip from Connecticut to Florida, 1959-60 time frame

SPC Woody Bullard - Campbell was the only school for blacks until the mid sixties. They had Sundown laws here in Daytona Beach. Blacks were not allowed on the beachside after dark.
