Lettice Graham is a 95-year-old New Yorker from Harlem who returns to North Carolina every two years. Lettice grew up in the segregated south and attended a high school that was "ahead of its time academically". Lettice left Jacksonville shortly after graduating from Georgetown High School 1941. She maintains close ties with the alumni, many who graduated long after she did. The connection, in part, stems from the school's demise. Suspected white supremacists bombed the school just hours before the graduating class of 1966 was scheduled to walk across the floor. As an act of solidarity, alumni from as far back as Lettice's year slip into their sequin dresses and three piece suits to celebrate in prom-like style and to recognize a school that produced doctors, philosophers, Harvard grads and one of the first African-American national football players.
