Forty years after being forced to desegregate its schools, the Franklin school board has asked a federal judge to declare that the school division has eliminated all vestiges of racial discrimination.
The request is largely a formality: The schools have been integrated for some 38 years. But the legal move represents a historic note of the end of the racial divisions that once defined this small community.
