History
In the 1968–1969 school year a few black students transferred from Carver to Dothan under a choice program. In 1969, six weeks before the start of the school year, a federal judge ruled the plan inadequate and ordered all Carver High School to be integrated with Dothan.[1]

gollark: I was thinking that instead of just "pay site thing, get thing out from it", you would do "show site that you own coin of value X, get thing, give site thing", but then I realized that that would actually allow the person spending the coin to *not* transfer the apiocash.
