It’s appalling how that hideous school abused and oppressed those poor children of color.

Every kid in that photo is white.

The school board at that time worried about children growing up in an urban environment losing touch with nature and how to fend for themselves. So school gardens were established. Some lasted into the 1930’s.

A lot of the produce was used for school lunches. Some was sold, and the rest given to soup kitchens.
