[ [http://www.greenmcadoo.com/story.html The Story of Desegregation in Clinton, Tennessee] , Green McAdoo Cultural Center website (accessed November 25, 2007)] It is now a museum and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Green McAdoo School deteriorated after its closure, but was reopened as a museum and cultural center in 2006. Federal grants and local government funding helped to pay for renovations to the building. A set of life-size bronze statues of the "Clinton 12," the 12 African American students who attended Clinton High School in the fall of 1956 when the high school was desegregated under court order, is displayed outside the school's front entrance.cite news
