John T. Morgan Academy, commonly known as Morgan Academy, is a private school in Selma, Alabama. Established in June 1965 as a segregation academy, the school was named after Confederate general and Ku Klux Klan leader John Tyler Morgan. The institution remained segregated for over forty years after its founding and did not admit its first black student until 2008, a decision that sparked protests by hundreds of parents and the resignation of a board member. As of 2024, the student body is reportedly 96% White, and less than 1% is Black.
