CLINTON, TN – (March 15, 2019) – On behalf of the Green McAdoo Cultural Organization, the City of Clinton, and the State of Tennessee, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Mr. Alfred Williams, born on December 6, 1935.
Mr. Williams passed away March 14, 2019, at The Waters Nursing and Rehabilitation Facility surrounded by family.
He was one of the Clinton 12 students that fought for the integration of Clinton High School in 1956 blazing a trail for all Black students to achieve equal education under the law.
He went on to work in the City School system and became one of the friendly faces of Clinton Elementary School and the “candy man”, until his retirement. He will be missed by family, friends, and all those blessed to know him.
