Akilah Hughes Instagram – 🏫 🔔 Class is in session: REBEL SPIRIT episode 2 🎙️ HISTORY LESSONS is out now. In it, I’m told the generational lie by Boone County Schools that the mascot at BCHS, “Mr. Rebel” and the Rebels, was taken from the 1955 James Dean movie, “Rebel Without a Cause.” You can see above just how little our confederate general resembled the ai version of how a James Dean mascot would look. But just to be sure we spoke with an expert in classic Hollywood cinema.
Beyond proving the school and district unmistakably wrong, we dive deep into the true history of the school and the area and basically the entire memory of the confederacy as being rebuilt as a hateful response to desegregation.
We can’t move forward without telling the full story.
