8th Grade Class, 1920's

This photo was found in a large box of photographs that I purchased from a dealer in Cincinnati. On the back it is marked "8th Grade Class Avondale School." Avondale is a neighborhood just north of downtown Cincinnati. The neighborhood was largely Jewish until the late 60's/early 70's when the Jewish population migrated to suburbs even further north. Judging from the bobbed hair and clothes I'm identifying it as being from the 1920's. View full size.

Avondale

Just in case anyone wants to know I'm African American. I lived in the Avondale neighborhood while growing up in Cincinnati in from 1956 to 1971.The Jewish flight from Avondale began after WWII. The southern part of Avondale, where we lived, was a predominantly black area with a few senior Jewish folks still residing. In fact there were still Jewish synagogues in the area. Now the northern part of Avondale was still mostly Jewish at the time I described. A Google search will set anyone straight on this matter.
