Email testimony from 7/2014: “Growing up in Eastlake, from second grade until I left for college, I know that no Blacks lived in Eastlake but a few did in Willoughby. However, though Eastlake was all white I never heard of sundown policies, laws or signs. Perhaps because we were a few white suburbs away from the ghetto, the racism in Eastlake was not much on the surface. Willoughby, Willowick and Eastlake all went to one high school until 1959, and from 57 to 59 school years there were only two Black students in the school system. In 1959 the high school, called Eastlake North, was split and a Willoughby South was created and the two Black students went there.” – … transforming Eastlake North back into an all-white HS.
