As time marches on and technology advances, schools are renovated to bring more sophisticated resources into the classrooms. During an update of blackboards at Emerson High School in Oklahoma City, as workers began removing the blackboards that were to be replaced with whiteboards a remarkable discovery was made.
Under the blackboards were the old blackboards from 1917 just as they had been left. It is hard to explain why pictures like the one below are so fascinating, but I think they allow us a glimpse into the past and force us to think of those who were in these spaces teaching and learning more than 100 years ago.
