[quote=Anonymous]If the reporter is still reading this thread, I really do hope you write this article. I would love to know the answer. I have to say when I moved here I also thought that Banneker was the high school equivalent of an HBCU. People seem to have a lot of qualms about Wall so it would be great to have an alternative. My kids are young and are at a DCI feeder, so it's not clear if I'll be looking into Banneker some day, but I do hope that at some point it becomes used by all students -- for the good of all students who will have to operate in a diverse world someday. I hope that as white gentrifier parents who are living in Shaw/Bloomingdale/Le Droit stay in their neighborhoods, Banneker will be more attractive to white families than perhaps it has been in the past based on geography if nothing else. After all, right now we all meet up at the Banneker pool -- why not at Banneker high school in ten years?[/quote]
