Comments
“In high school, there were 2-3 black students in the school that I knew about.
I have never heard about any racially motivated acts of violence or other hate crimes in Princeton. I don’t know of a time when Princeton had many black people.
But of course, there was some KKK activity in the early 20th century in the general area.%u201D
