All The Tables from Citizens’ School Report In this newspaper clipping from 1964, the Ann Arbor News visualizes statistics from a report of the Ann Arbor Board of Education’s Citizens’ Committee, which was established to investigate how race was shaping the student populations of and educational experiences at various city schools (Jones School, n.d.). This article, one of six to be printed in the Ann Arbor News, reveals the ongoing segregation and racial violence enacted against Black students through the city’s primary education system. (All The Tables From Citizens’ School Report, n.d.). Notable statistics include the overwhelming separation of Black students into the Jones and Mack schools (which reported that Black students comprised respectively 75.4% and 41.1% of their student populations), as well as the educational neglect of Black students across the school system in regards to grades. The publication of the report these statistics come from ultimately led to broad support by civil rights groups and Black families in the North Central area to close the Jones School, as well as to restructure the city’s education system (Jones School, n.d.).
It is important to note that absent from these statistics is contextualizing information about racism in the school system, such as the experience of Black students.

Blake Sr., who served as minister at Bethel A.M.E. from 1933-1937 (David Addison Blake Sr (1887-1970), n.d.). As a central Black church of the North Central area, Bethel A.M.E served as a community stronghold for Black residents to discuss concerns about race relations and housing discrimination in the city (Shackman, 2000).

Teenage Baseball Players at Jones School This photograph depicts an all-Black baseball team at the Jones School in 1939. The Jones School, now Community High School, is described as an "anchor" of what was known as the North Central area of Ann Arbor, a historically Black neighborhood in present-day Kerrytown (Jones School, n.d.). While it was open, the school served as a site for food drives, donation efforts, and recreational programs for Black students living in the area (Jones School, n.d.). In 1963, the Ann Arbor Board of Education formed a 12-member Citizens’ Committee to study and provide statistics about the dynamics of race, specifically in regards to the racial composition of student populations, in Ann Arbor public schools (Jones School, n.d.). Through the report that the Committee created and released the following year, the Jones School was determined a de facto' segregated school by the Ann Arbor Board of Education and subsequently closed due to community pressure (Jones School, n.d.). More broadly, the work of the Committee spurred action to address segregation across the city’s school system (Jones School, n.d.).
