1954 saw Charleston become the first Confederate States school district to adopt school integration as a response to Brown v. Board of Education. The school board, which included President Howard Madison Orsburn and George Hairston as well as Archibald Schaffer and Herbert Shumate, unanimously voted on July 27, 1954, to "disband and admit the Colored students into the grade school and high school when the fall semester begins." On August 23, eleven black students attended the schools alongside 480 whites. Woodie Haynes, the school superintendent, made an agreement not to report the event and stonewalled any reporters who asked questions. Integration was financially beneficial as the district had been paying a substantial sum to transport black high school students to Fort Smith and could close the Rosenwald school. The city was one of the few Southern cities that showed little resistance during the Civil Rights era. Charleston was subject to discrimination by other schools and the government. Many schools refused to allow them to play football and denied the band the chance to participate in band competitions. Joe Ferguson and Barbara Dotson were the first black students to graduate from Charleston in 1961.
