Okolona Children Park (Little Court)
Formerly Meridian Street School was the first public school for Black children in Okolona.
MSS stood from 1920-1958.
The school taught 1st-8th grades.
Upon graduation, students would go on to attend the Okolona Industrial School (Okolona College) to complete 9th-12 grades.
Meridian Street changed an era from school being taught in area/rural church to public schools.
