The first Black student to integrate Fayette schools received Lafayette High School’s Lifetime Achievement Award at school’s graduation ceremony Friday.
Helen Caise Wade, 83, became the first Black student to attend a white school in Lexington when she went to Lafayette for summer school in 1955.
In a speech about the award, Hannah Kohm, the 2022 senior class treasurer, called Wade’s action “a bold and historic step.”
