Bob Jones Academy was formed in 1927 because Bob Jones, Jr. had just graduated from middle school, and Bob Sr. worried he would embarrass him.

But let’s go with BJU’s story.

Born simultaneously in 1927 with Bob Jones University, Bob Jones Academy also is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year. This fully standardized secondary school offers grades 7 through 12; annually enrolls more than 400 students from every section of the nation and several foreign countries, making it one of the larger private Christian high schools in America.

Since the first graduating class of five, more than 2,000 young people have completed work at the Academy. Each year a large percentage of the Academy graduates enter Bob Jones University; this past year over 70 per cent enrolled in the university. Many of the others entered fields of study not available at BJU such as engineering, medicine, law, nursing, etc.

For some reason, BJU refuses to ever acknowledge Eunice Hutto Morecraft’s legal name. Bob Jones, Sr. married her and her husband, and Fannie Mae sang “O Promise Me” at the ceremony.

The late Eunice Hutto was the first principal. In 1937 Mrs. Paul Brown became the principal of the Academy and served in this capacity for 28 years. She became a member of the staff while still a student in Bob Jones College during the early days of the school in Florida.

Morecraft died suddenly in 1947 in St. Louis when she was visiting there for medical care.

The death certificate gives more explanation:

Her son was eight months old.

After teaching in the science department and serving as assistant to the dean of women. Mrs. Brown assumed the responsibility of the administration of the Academy. It was through her leadership that the Academy was able to maintain the cultural, academic, and spiritual emphasis needed to meet the needs of the ever-increasing student body. Because of ill health, she was forced to retire in May of 1964. She died September 12, 1964.

Upon Mrs. Brown's retirement, Gene Fisher, a member of the Academy history faculty, was named principal. Under his leadership the Academy has continued its task of training young people to live in the problem world of today.

The Academy has a college preparatory curriculum designed to fully qualify a student to enter college. Every student is required to take Bible each semester he is enrolled. Seven levels of Bible are offered, and the students may take the course in which they are best qualified.

Aside from the books and studies, students have many opportunities to participate in a wide variety of extracurricular activities with youngsters of their own age and interests.

They conduct their own literary societies, the Inter-Society Council, student-body activities, intramural athletic programs, and debate organizations. Other organizations offer the students opportunities to gain a broader knowledge of the activities in which professional people are involved.

Expenses for the Academy are the same as those for the university. Music, speech, and art are available without additional cost above regular academic fees.

Nothing shows the passage of time like noticing hair growth. I’ve been home for 4 months. Some days it feels like forever or that I never left. Other days it feels like I’ve only been back for a few weeks.

Organizers for a Juneteenth celebration in Greenville, South Carolina, are receiving backlash on social media over marketing material for the event.

Juneteenth, marked on June 19th, celebrates the emancipation of the westernmost slaves in the U.S. It took Union troops until that date in 1865 to finally reach Texas and inform those there that enslaved Black people were free by executive decree.

Some people online are sharing photos of a promotional banner for the Juneteenth GVL event, skewering organizers for their use of white models.

QUESTION

Are photos of the Juneteenth GVL banners, with white models, real?

SOURCES

• Recent footage of downtown Greenville, SC, from NBC affiliate WYFF • Rueben Hays, Founder and Executive Director of Juneteenth GVL

ANSWER

TRUE

Yes, there are Juneteenth banners in downtown Greenville featuring white models. However, there are different versions of the banner around the area featuring models of other races.

WHAT WE FOUND

Footage of downtown Greenville from NBC affiliate WYFF shows several banners on light posts in the downtown area advertising the upcoming Juneteenth celebration.

The viral banner, featuring a white couple, is there, and there are other banners depicting people of different races, including one with a single Black woman and another one with an older Black couple.

The organization behind the Juneteenth materials told WYFF it was trying to portray how everyone is welcomed to join in Juneteenth celebrations and how everyone must come together to push any vision forward.

That said -- Hays is apologizing for the delivery of that message.

"We understand that it's a very sensitive subject, especially in the African American community," Hays said. "We failed at making sure that we completely centered African Americans at the center of our marketing, of all of our marketing."

In addition to apologizing, organizers said they plan to change the banners to feature the Juneteenth and Pan-African flags.
