THUMBS UP to those who enjoyed the recent celebration at a historic building and park in McAlester.
A group of L Ouverture School alumni thanked volunteers for their restoration efforts at the historic McAlester school building during a May Day celebration Saturday at McAlester s Michael J. Hunter Memorial Park.
McAlester resident Primus Moore and Herbert Keith, both L Ouverture alumni, continue their efforts to save the former public school attended by Black students in McAlester from 1908 to 1968 â when 115 L Ouverture High School students integrated with McAlester High School.
The two alumni organized the recent event based on similar activities held at the school during that era to celebrate the nearing end of the academic year.
