There are 6 schools in the USA with the word moton in the name.

The word "Moton" is commonly found in U.S. public school names as a way to honor Robert Russa Moton, a prominent African American educator and leader in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Moton was the successor to Booker T. Washington as principal of the Tuskegee Institute, where he played a crucial role in expanding educational opportunities for Black students. His legacy is particularly significant in the context of the Civil Rights Movement and the struggle for equal education in the United States. Schools named "Moton" often reflect local communities' admiration for his advocacy of educational advancement and social justice. As a result, "Moton" serves as a reminder of the historical efforts to provide quality education to all children, especially in regions with a history of segregation or educational inequity.
