| Description: |
The family of Dr. Isaac Thomas moved to Hattiesburg from Beaumont, Perry County, Mississippi, in 1935. He entered Eureka High School that year, graduating in 1938, one of a class of thirty-three. Dr. Thomas stresses how important attending Eureka was to the continuation of his studies. He believes he benefitted from the encouragement he received from his teachers, and he is grateful that he could attend one of the few black high schools in Mississippi at that time.
