Description
Margaret did third grade at an open-air school. It was a new idea to which Adelle subscribed, so she sent her two daughters there. The kids would wear their winter coats and sit in the cold for school, putting their feet in a box to keep them warm. Margaret went there for that one year. Evanston was famous for its good schools. With the black people coming from the South to work in Evanston, schools were always integrated.
