Carolyn Pierce
Carolyn died from a medical emergency. Carolyn was a 2002 graduate of Vance High School, now named Julius L. Chambers High School. Vance was named after a confederate army member, who fought to keep slavery legal.
Knowing that, officials still named the school after the confederate member Vance. The name of the school went on for over 20 years. The school name was changed after the deadly George Floyd situation and all of the race riots.
Sadly it took riots and someone to be killed just for a school name to change from that of a confederate army member.
Carolyn was a big advocate for black lives matter and civil rights for all people, she even attended some marches. Carolyn worked in sales for Olly Olly, she also loved football.
