In 1980 B.F. Terry was built and named after a former slaver owner and colonel in the confederate army.

He famously created a Calvary unit named the Terry Rangers to hunt slaves and fight in the Confederate army.
Today the school has been named in his honor and the mascot is a Texas Ranger. Black students are forced to rally behind a mascot that murder people of color and fought for the continued enslavement.
