I can still see the one-room shacks with an outhouse in the back, where a single teacher taught around 30 kids ages 6 -14.
And a couple of blocks from that shack, would be a well-built schoolhouse, with gymnasium, lunchroom, modern bathrooms, rooms for each age group with appropriate teachers, heating and cooling systems.
Guess which school building was for the white kids?
