Description

In 1960, Dervey and Thelma Lomax sought to enroll their son Gregory at a nearby predominantly white elementary school, but the school board denied his admission. After a second denial a year later, the Lomax family with the assistance of the local NAACP, appealed to the state board of education. The local board settled by admitting Gregory as a second grader to the predominantly white College Park Elementary School. The following year he was joined at school by his younger brother Elston and a few other young Lakelanders. The 1966 fourth grade class of College Park Elementary school is shown in the photo. Elson Lomax is seated in the first row third from the left. Fellow Lakelander Ramona Sellers is next to him. Wayne Claibore is standing in the last row second from the right.
