Honoring the bravery and legacy of the Clinton 12.
Summary
House Resolution 588 is a commemorative measure intended to formally recognize the "Clinton 12," the group of Black students who integrated Clinton High School in Tennessee in 1956. The resolution honors their courage in the face of violent protests and celebrates their role as the first students to desegregate a state-supported high school in the South. While this resolution does not create new laws or allocate federal funding, it serves as an official historical acknowledgment of these individuals' contributions to the American civil rights movement.
