I attended ASJ during segregation. Later, as the neighbourhood became "black", it was "moved" to Sharpstown. Old location was recommissioned as a "black" school with a new name. Same fate as my old elementary school (Sutton). Not sure, but think there were probably existing legal requirements behind the changes--don't think you could integrate a school even if you wanted to.
