Lincoln Elementary School
Description
The Lincoln Elementary School was created in 1869 on Humphrey Street and Englewood Avenue. The building was burned down in 1917, however, a new one was made where students attended until that building was torn down in 2016 to be replaced with an apartment complex.
The schools originally taught white students but opened a colored section in 1878. By the 1960s, the school primarily taught black students. The school was at the center of efforts to desegregate classrooms.
