====Former school for African Americans====
[[Douglass High School (Kingsport, Tennessee)|Douglass High School]] in Kingsport was one of the largest [[African American]] high schools in the region when it closed for [[desegregation]] in 1966.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM9RGH_Douglass_High_School_1926_1966_1A143_Kingsport_TN |title=Douglass High School (1926-1966) - 1A 143 - Kingsport, TN - Tennessee Historical Markers on Waymarking.com|website=www.waymarking.com}}</ref> The school's former building on East Walnut Avenue (now East Sevier Avenue) was a historic [[Rosenwald School]], built in 1929–30 with a combination of funds from the city, private citizens and the [[Rosenwald Fund]]. Although during the years of segregation the Douglass Tigers football team was not allowed to play white teams, the Tigers won a Tennessee state football championship a state basketball championship in 1946, and a state basketball championship in 1948. The present building, built in 1951 at 301 Louis Street, is now the V.O. Dobbins Sr. Complex, named for Douglass' former principal.
