1924: THE NEW LINCOLN SCHOOL FOR "NEGRO CHILDREN"

Segregation was alive and well back in the roaring 20's. This interesting article along with a very poor copy of an engraving of the school which was located on North Montgomery street in Trenton.
Tom,
Happy New Year.
I like your post on the Lincoln School, later to become Jr. #5. I started Jr. 5 in 1948 and P.J. Hill was Principal.
To read the description from the news article I could picture the inside all over again. The biggest change is that the first floor class rooms had no direct door to the outside.
