This is the story of the Negro Boys Industrial School Fire of 1959.

A Report From NewsOne a service of benandsteve.com

Deemed one of Arkansas’ greatest mysteries, the history of the 1959 fire at the Negro Boys Industrial School is still an enigma. 

Who would lock innocent Black teenage boys into a building and set it on fire? The thought seems unimaginable, but it happened. 

In the 1950s, Arkansas was ground zero for the segregation of public schools in America.

The historic Brown v. Board of Education U.S. Supreme Court case of 1954 declared that all laws establishing segregated schools were unconstitutional, calling for schools throughout the nation to be desegregated.

After the court’s decision, the NAACP began registering Black students in previously all-white schools. Little Rock in Arkansas was one of the first cities to agree to comply with the Supreme Court ruling, and by 1957, nine Black students were selected to attend previously all-white Little Rock Central High. The students would be known as the Little Rock Nine.

The Day Black Boys Burned: Uncovering The 1959 Fire At The Negro Boys Industrial School

On Sept. 4, 1957, the Little Rock Nine arrived at Little Rock Central High School, hoping to just focus on school. Instead, they were hounded by an angry, racist mob of white students trying to keep them out. The angry white mob, which consisted of students, parents, and Little Rock citizens, yelled racial slurs and physical threats at the Black students, trying their best to keep them out of their schools. Arkansas Governor Orval M. Faubus even attempted to use the Arkansas National Guard to keep the nine students out of the school.

The terror these nine Black students faced trying to go to a new school was horrific, but the violence and hatred wouldn’t end with the Little Rock Nine. A few years later, the Negro Boys Industrial School, an alternative school for Black boys in Wrightsville, would suffer an even worse fate.

On March 5, 1959, at 4 a.m., when the school was asleep, 69 Black students, ages 13 to 17, were padlocked inside the dormitories of the Negro Boys Industrial School, and the dorms mysteriously set ablaze. The boys fought and struggled to survive the burning building, clawing their way to safety by prying off mesh metal screens from two windows. 

The following day, the bodies of 21 Black boys were found piled on top of each other in the corner of the burned dormitory.

BLM IS LIKE THE KLAN...NOPE! MORE HYPOCRISY

Since BLM has been proclaimed the “new” Klan I am looking forward to seeing how many murders they’ve committed. I should say WE since I am a part of it.

Lynching victims were often accused of attempted murder or murder. Rape was also a common accusation as well. African Americans who violated Jim Crow laws or dared to compete in business with Whites would find death at the end of a rope. Yep, BLM has done all of these things! Between 1883 to 1941 the total number of victims of lynching was 4,467! 4,027 were men 99 were women 341 were of…

He’s remembered for his courage and leadership

NATCHEZ, Miss. – The bombing of George Metcalfe’s car on Aug. 27, 1965, was meant to kill him and cripple with fear the Black community. Instead, it became a tragedy that galvanized the Black community and led to one of the most successful civil rights movements in the South.

“The bomb that shook the earth below Metcalfe’s Chevrolet shook the black community out of its dormancy,” said Jack E. Davis in his book, “Race Against Time” (Louisiana State University Press, 2001).

This week, on the 58th anniversary of Metcalfe’s bombing, local residents remember Metcalfe as a fearless leader who was bold and relentless in his fight for justice and equal opportunities for the Black community.

Denise Jackson Ford knew Metcalfe through her father, Wharlest Jackson Sr., who was a close friend of Metcalfe. Her father, who served as treasurer for the NAACP, was killed on Feb. 27, 1967, when his truck was bombed reportedly by members of the Klan.

"Mr. Metcalfe wanted equal rights for the citizens of Adams County and he stood up to the KKK’s and whites that thought differently" she said. "He wasn’t afraid to speak his mind and was willing to do whatever he could for our city.  Mr. Metcalfe shall be remembered for his courage, pleadings, and sacrifices for orchestrating and organizing the local NAACP here in Natchez."

‘Dangerous time’

As president of the Natchez branch of the NAACP, Metcalfe’s work had resulted in threats from the Ku Klux Klan. Metcalfe worked at the Armstrong Tire and Rubber Company. After completing his shift at noon on Friday, Aug. 27, 1965, he got into his car. When he placed his key in the ignition and turned the switch, the car exploded. Metcalfe suffered burns and a broken arm from the explosion. His right leg was shattered in three places. His right eye was permanently damaged. Although many believe the bomb was planted in the car by the KKK, no one was ever charged for the crime.

Former Natchez Mayor Phillip West said the 1960s were a dangerous time for Natchez. "Metcalfe and many like him made many contributions to Natchez’s civil rights history," he said. "They were living in a dangerous time when African Americans had few if any support from law enforcement and the local government. Natchez was a microcosm of the bigger and more wide-spread problem of racism."

Natchez Alderman Billie Joe Frazier said he was one among many teenagers who participated in the marches. He said Metcalfe played an important role in the Natchez Movement.

“He deserved all the credit for helping to get things started in Adams County,” he said. “It all started at the grassroots level. We were the young people then who took everything to the forefront.”

Impact of bombing

The impact of the bombing was immediate and clear as hundreds of Blacks held rallies and began to March in protest. The protests included boycotts of White businesses, picketing, and armed protection.

"When Klansmen bombed Metcalfe, they intended to kill him and as a consequence so terrify the Black community that the fight for civil rights and equality in Natchez would end," said Stanley Nelson, author of "Devils Walking" (Louisiana State University Press, 2016). "They failed on both goals. Not only did Metcalfe survive, but the attack on him inspired the Black community to fight harder and in a matter of weeks, the demands put forth by the NAACP for change in Natchez were approved by city officials."

Local historian Jeremy Houston said the bombing impacted Natchez in many ways. For one thing, he said, it brought national and local attention to the movement in Natchez.

"It also sparked a sort of revolutionary spirit through the black community in Natchez," he noted. "The bombing brought leaders like Charles Evers, Rev Al Sampson, Dorie Ladner, and William 'Bill' Ware to the forefront of the Natchez movement."

Houston said the bombing also led to the establishment of the Deacons for Defense and Justice in Natchez. The deacons provided armed protection for the civil rights activists and the black community.

"The black community came together socially, politically, and economically," Houston explained. "After the bombing, the black community of Natchez organized the greatest economic boycott or protest in the state of Mississippi. The black community at that time damn near hurt the white community economically by not shopping in their establishments."

In short, Black unity and organization towards a common goal showed that "white supremacy can be strangled and thrown in the Mississippi River," Houston said.

Metcalfe’s legacy

Neither the bombing nor his injuries dampened Metcalfe’s courage. He and others like him laid the foundation on which Natchez’s progress would be built and experienced for generations to come.

“I can say this wholeheartedly, if it wasn’t for George Metcalfe, Natchez would’ve been a different place for someone like me to grow up,” said Houston.

Houston said Natchez can do a better job of commemorating Metcalfe. He honored him regularly through his company, Miss Lou Heritage Group and Tours, from 2016 to 2020, he said. “I will continue to educate and tell everyone who I encounter in this life about how George Metcalfe stood up for equality for his people in Natchez, Mississippi. Without George Metcalfe there’s no new generation of Natchez leaders to lead us into the 21st century.”

Nelson was impressed by the bravery Metcalfe showed after his recovery. "When I think of Metcalfe, I think of his amazing courage. After a year of recovery from his wounds, he returned to work at Armstrong Tire," Nelson said. "This was where the attack on him was perpetrated, and this is where the Klan leader who ordered the attack worked. I believe very few of us would have the courage to do that. He didn't run and he didn't hide."
