Description
#4 is Mr. Ted Roosevelt Jackson's son (jr.), 548
Caribou Road, Biltmore. These students were admitted to Allen High
School because Burnsville had no provision for our black students
beyond elementary school. When the one room school house was
condemned in Burnsville, our children were bussed into Asheville
(Travel time daily was over four hours in unheated buses. This
included students from the first grade through eighth grade. Allen
high school played a major role here.)
