Druid High School, originally Industrial City High School was a senior high school for black students in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and a part of Tuscaloosa City Schools. The school had black children from all social classes. The instruction emphasized manual trades instead of university careers, and lacked the resources held by the all-white Tuscaloosa High School. The school had a reputation for strong teachers as African-Americans at the time had few other prestigious career options. Nikole Hanna-Jones of ProPublica stated "Druid was a source of pride within the city’s black community." rdf:langString
