Summary
This early 1940s photo of Sitta Hardy (left) chatting happily with Ann Wenner shows 2 Brunswick students as they waited for the bus to different schools during the Jim Crow era of segregation. Sitta was heading off to Lincoln High School in Frederick, where black secondary students were bussed until BHS was de-segregated in the late 1950s, while Ann was on her way across town to the old West End Elementary School on Brunswick Street. The photo was taken in the back yard of the Wenner residence on the corner of Petersville and Souder Road. For two generations, the buses all made a stop on the Souder Road side of the driveway.
