Is it still a black only school?

Kenilworth Middle closed about a decade ago and then a charter school took over the campus. The charter then built its own campus and gave it back to EBR. BRCVPA moved in while they tore down its campus and rebuilt. Those kids are going to be in their new campus in the fall. McKinley is doing the same thing. Moving to Kenilworth while work is done on their campus.

Since when did we go back to having black schools? Does that mean that we have white only schools?

Also…this trend of capitalizing “black” needs to end.
