Description
Article tells the story of Penn School on Pennsylvania Avenue between 42nd and 43rd Streets. Penn School is less well-known than other African American schools because it was small and served a neighborhood (Westport) not generally associated with the African American community. The school closed in 1955 and was demolished in 1969 following a fire. A plaque commemorates the site.
