Talk:H-B Woodlawn

I am removing the below mentioned bit of trivia. There are a few others that seem doubtful but I will leave them be for now. NilThree 04:30, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't recall ever hearing the origin of the name 'hoffman boston'; it seems odd that his name wound up hyphenated. And espically considering the first black landowner in the US was actually named Anthony Johnson. I found this document from the dedication to H-B elementary; but it suggests that the important person was named just "hoffman"; and hyphenated with someone else (probably?) named boston. Could somebody provide a source for the assertion?

The Hoffman-Boston school was *not* named for one person. The reason it's hyphenated is because it's the last names of two people. I believe Ella Boston was one of the people, I don't remember who the Hoffman was. If he's still alive and around, George Richardson, who lived across the street from the old H-B building, was the principal of the all-black Hoffman-Boston High school at the time it closed in 1964 and he would probably be a good source on this.

Desegregation and other Stratford building specific information
I propose that all information about the desgregation and anything else that doesn't relate directly to the H-B Woodlawn program be moved to Stratford Junior High School, especially now that H-B is moving to the Wilson building. Totallyuneekname (talk) 03:43, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
