The Corbin of 1990 is not the Corbin of 2018. A lot can change in 28 years. I don't disagree that this town has the reputation as a racist town, I'm not even gonna say that it didn't earn and deserve that reputation. I will say that Corbin today is not a racist town, no matter what the folks from barbourville "think". Also, Corbin doesn't just achieve success in sports they create successful young adults. Highest average act score in the area. Highest number of kids that are college and career ready in the area. All this while the state had to go into Knox central. Are there bad apples here and there? Yes. Just like there are bad apples everywhere.

Legit question: when did the first black kid attend Corbin High School (and stay longer than a week or two... as I've heard people who attended Corbin High talk about how they would try to see how quick they could get them to leave for daring try come... in the 2000's).

2018 Corbin may be better than 1990's Corbin, but 1990's Corbin is basically Civil Rights Era for most other places... kind of a "nicest guy in prison" or "most sane person in the insane asylum" there.
