Abandoned Building that was a Segregated School in Rural Texas

We got lost trying to make the right exit and turn in Lockhart for the best barbecue around. What a lucky chance to come across this building. We looked inside and it appeared to be one of those big room and stairwell and ceiling building. I would have loved to walk inside but it also looked dangerous, and I guess that would be trespassing. It's fascinating confronting the brutal past of the South in these sites and the injustice and violence that lay behind it. I've also heard African Americans talk about their experiences in these segregated schools with pride and nostalgia and praise for all the good work and accomplishments that occurred there.
