Colored Graded or Stantonsburg Street School (later known as the Sallie Barbour School), circa 1933. Annie Marian Gay is second from left on the top row. First on the row below her is Lucian J. Henderson. The boy at far right on the third row from the bottom is a Diggs. The teacher is believed to be Elizabeth Courtney Plummer Fitts. Please contact me if you can positively identify any more of these children.
Fifty children in one room? Horrible, just horrible.
….God’s Grace is abound. One of the children from those crowded conditions still lives as of June 9, 2020 at 92 years old ….she is brilliant and her memory is impeccable. HALLELUJAH!
Indeed!
