Hello there! Quick update. Banneker Elementary, one of the county's older schools (opened 1948) and the only segregated Black school that still operates as a school in the county, is going through a seismic renovation right now. I will cover its history and these current events in a later post. In the meantime, they have placed a call for historical items to help preserve the school and community's legacy. This includes photos, stories, artifacts, documents, and other ephemera, especially during the school's segregated period (1948-1968). I'm posting the two-page flyer below.
If you have any items and would like to help out, please contact bannekerrenovation@lcps.org or (571) 252-1161.
More information on the renovation can be found HERE. Details on the Lending Agreement can by found HERE.
