Over the past couple of days, I’ve been sharing excerpts from my research on this series and I’m just grateful for all of the footnotes & tips on Black high schools in your city from back in the day. Please, keep them coming … I am also taking note of the schools that were predominantly white one year, and in the year following, became predominantly Black. I can see the results of Brown vs. Board of Education through these images, white-flight, & redlining through these images. But most importantly, I see the love of my people through these images … I’m checking for all of the Black editors and yearbook staff who documented Blackness, unapologetically — (including the Black administration & food service workers). I’m hoping I can track some of these lovely folks down. Until then, check the website occasionally for the progression of this series - thanks everyone for your help.
