Welcome to Moton High School
"There were fifteen Negro schools in the county for an estimated Negro student population of 2,000. The total value of these properties was around $330,000. All but one of these schools were of wood construction, had no toilet facilities except for outdoor privies, and had wood, coal, or kerosene stoves for heat." (Pricot & Peeples, 1964)
