Someplace must have listed his birth year wrong then, because his Linkedin profile has him attending Istrouma HS from '73-'76. I think that would be about the time Istrouma went from majority white to majority black.

That was actually in the early '80's. Istrouma was still predominantly white all through the '70's. The low interest rates of the early '80's drove the white folks out in droves.
