In the summer of 1955, the Hoxie (Lawrence County) school system became one of the first in Arkansas to integrate. Before integration, black elementary students had attended a local segregated school, while high school students were bused to an all-black school in Jonesboro (Craighead County). One of the black students at Hoxie is seen in this 1956 photo of the eighth-grade girls Glee Club.
