It is where I met my first true love Shirley Pair but also Mayjet Freeman, and Nancy Newmon, also Jerry Bowen, Glen Warick, Donnie Cater all of whom made an impression on my life some good and some bad but all that I remember to this day. I also remember going to Charley's for 10c hamburgers the Madison for movies and fun and the Halloween fun at the school. All in all those time made me the person I am now so good or bad who knows.<br /><br />brooks.jw@hotmail.com Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07567492930567193482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767546697895869340.post-42974472042729220222016-03-22T16:21:13.501-07:002016-03-22T16:21:13.501-07:00is this place still existing?is this place still existing?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632721970778410596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6767546697895869340.post-43102586871436472872016-01-17T19:39:13.683-08:002016-01-17T19:39:13.683-08:00I have pleasant but not fond memories of J.B.

In 1961 the Atlanta powers that be decided to "integrate" the schools by making Whitefoord Elem. all black and making the all white now former Whitefoord students go to all white J.B. Gordon We had double sessions because you can't put two schools in the same building overnight. Fortunately most of our teachers came with us, so we didn't feel too much set adrift. We went one year (sixth grade) then moved to Dekalb County.<br /><br />We had real neighborhood schools, and I still resent the powers that be ripping apart the neighborhood school for a purely political agenda. The real shame is that blacks and whites all lost.<br /><br />This is a part of Atlanta history that has been swept under the rug and mostly forgotten about. <br /><br />I have to note that the Whitefoord/Woodbine community has somehow become part of Kirkwood, which no one "back in the day" would have considered.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
