Talk:East High School (Buffalo, New York)/@comment-2604:6000:CFC0:29:5CF2:3ECA:501E:FBE4-20190405165048

I am Dawnmarie Schaefer (nee Bloom) Graduate of East High School 1955 with some accolades. I just downloaded EAST HIGH SCHOOL (BUFFALO NEW YORK) ON Wikipedia..I was shocked to read that "due to redistricting increasing numbers of African -Americans joined the student enrollment. East High's boundaries were redrawn so that it became "Buffalo's Negro high school."   This is such an aberration of what took place!   The school was integrated with much respect for our new population and we welcomed the artistry and talent and the blending of the two (or more) races made for a better school than it was before...!! I wish with all my heart that someone will take steps to re-write that horrible  racist statement that is in this Wikipedia report!   Also, left out of the famous graduates is Ishmal Reed who became a famous poet and author..I think class of 1953 . Look him up on the internet.
