DECATUR — The announcement that Parsons School will keep its name was welcome news to Jeanelle Norman and other community members wanting to preserve the namesake s legacy. “I m elated that they made the right decision,” said Norman, president of the Decatur Branch of the NAACP, referring to Tuesday s vote by the Decatur school board. “It s the only school in the whole district named after an African-American, and African-Americans should be recognized as significantly as all others.” The board voted Tuesday to accept the recommendations to keep the names of Johns Hill and Parsons, and to alter Franklin s name to Franklin Grove.
