1938: "SEPARATE BUT EQUAL"

HERE'S A CLASS PHOTO OF LINCOLN SCHOOL'S CLASS OF 1938. IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO REALIZE THAT WE IN THE TRENTON-MERCER AREA HAD A SCHOOL DEVOTED TO EDUCATING THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THE ORIGINAL LINCOLN SCHOOL WAS LOCATED ON HIGBEE STREET, WHICH WOULD ULTIMATELY BECOME BELLEVUE AVENUE. THANKS TO ONE OF MY FAVORITE VISITORS, TOM REED, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL ADVISING ME THAT THE PHOTO ABOVE IS THE LATER LINCOLN SCHOOL IN NORTH TRENTON IN THE BATTLE MONUMENT AREA, BELIEVED TO HAVE ULTIMATELY BECOME "JUNIOR 1." THANKS TOM. GET BACK TO ME AND LET ME KNOW IF I AM CORRECT IN IDENTIFYING THE BUILDING IN THE BACKGROUND AS JUNIOR ONE.
