Cadentown School was an important gathering place for an historic African-American community - see more at Wikimapia entry. In one instance the school served as a site for a local civil rights protest in 1901. These local histories are often considered not notable, even though for those who are so regularly underrepresented in our histories and in news accounts today, these sites are crucially important. Perhaps someone will build a Wikipedia entry about this little village and I (Randolph.hollingsworth (talk) 15:38, 26 July 2014 (UTC)) hope they will be able to use the information that was deleted from this article as "extraneous" by an eager Wikipedian.Reply
