Talk:Bushrod Park, Oakland, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Restored information on schools
I restored the information about schools (in particular the Sankofa Academy) that had been previously removed. I added some information to the intro that explains why the school warrants mention (the building and land that Sankofa currently occupies was once the Washington Elementary school and shares a common history with the park, as well as being a rather large building that is definitely a landmark for the neighborhood.) I plan on expanding the article more soon, so if you notice improperly introduced material or anything else that needs improvement, please let me know rather than removing it. Thanks! --Sapphic (talk) 23:42, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
