Comments
According to a resident of Avon, “I grew up in Avon during the 70s and 80s and remember very few black families living there during that time. I recall only a few African American students attending the public schools and those that did show up left in a short time. In high school I remember that there was at least one black female student who attended for only a few months and left after being taunted with racial slurs. There have also been several incidents in the schools in recent years involving black students. In one instance, a substitute teacher was fired after calling a disruptive black student a “slave”.
