The
Green McAdoo Cultural
Organization
The
Green McAdoo Cultural Organization
(GMCO) is a group of committed
volunteers desiring to preserve the legacy
and memory of the Green McAdoo School
and the events of desegregation in Clinton
while seeking national recognition for
the 12 students that integrated Clinton
High School in 1956. GMCO was formed
in 2004 as a non-profit 501(c)3 cultural
heritage organization to preserve and
represent the history of integration
in Clinton in a cultural heritage museum
that will honor all of the citizens of
Clinton - both black and white - who
worked for integration and equality and
to promote the history of education in
Anderson County. This school building
was placed on the National Register of
Historic Places in October 2005.
Mission
Statement: To be an inclusive,
community based,
non-profit organization
preserving the legacy
of education in
Anderson County
with an emphasis
on Clinton's (Tennessee)
public high school
desegregation.
