  North Avondale Lions

  Attached is a photo of my dad (on the left with glasses) and our baseball team, which tells a different story of black Jewish relations. 3 of the white kids are Jewish, and 2 others who are brothers have an interesting story. As an adult looking at this picture, I notice a team that is predominantly black with a few white kids. I imagine many adults during that time noticed this. As a kid, however, I never noticed that the majority was black, as were most of the coaches who were also my mentors. We did not ignore that some kids were black and others white, but we primarily saw each other as friends. Growing up in North Avondale from a kid's point of view was special. And I admire the adults who inculcated a healthy to think about and not think about race.

  Marvin and Gerry Kraus's Contributions to North Avondale

  These articles reflect the hard and persistent work it took to make and keep North Avondale racially and economically integrated. My dad's point about the significance of a white family buying a house from a black family seems insightful and emblematic of the character of North Avondale and perhaps is underinvestigated. This is not to idealize race relations which were far from perfect, but rather that the arrow was moving in the right direction toward healing and repairing systemic racism. The street sign issue reminded me that while the picture of Heschel marching at Selma tells one story, addressing faded street signs tells another. Namely, who is to say that a grand gesture of support has a greater positive impact than the mundane improvement of street signs that benefitted the entire neighborhood? While being an ally to black people in their struggle is certainly commendable, the idea of a racially and economically diverse neighborhood with common struggles that have little or nothing to do with race also sends a powerful message of what a better world looks like.
