Evidence
“Most whites who remained in the city’s increasingly tiny, affluent white enclaves enrolled their children in one of its large segregation academies, each of which accepted a token number of black students—Montgomery Academy, no black students among 819; St James School, 49 out of 996; and Trinity Presbyterian, just 1 of 906.” — Wikipedia contributors, Segregation Academy, 60
