The New York Times is unearthing unpublished photos from its archives for Black History Month by Shan Wang.
From the post:
In this black and white photo taken by a New York Times staff photographer, two unidentified second graders at Princeton’s Nassau Street Elementary School stand in front of a classroom blackboard. Some background text accompanies the image, pointing to a 1964 Times article about school integration and adding that the story “offered a caveat that still resonates, noting that in the search for a thriving and equal community, ‘good schooling is not enough.’”
Times readers wrote in to ask specifically about the second graders in the photo, so the Times updated the post with a comment form asking readers to share anything they might know about the girl and boy depicted.

Great background on the Unpublished Black History project at the Times.
Public interfaces enable contribution of information on selected images along with comments.
Unlike the US Intelligence community, the Times is willing to admit that its prior conduct may not reflect (then) or current values.
If a private, for-profit organization can be that honest, what’s the deal with government agencies?
Must be that accountability thing that Republicans are always trying to foist off onto public school teachers and public school teachers alone.
No accountability for elected officials and/or their appointees and cronies.
