Negro Will Leave White Community
Horace Baker, the Negro man who moved into Folcroft’s previously all white suburb, says his home is for sale after a week of harassment. He and wife Sarah, a nurse, live there with two small children now removed to their parents’ home in Miami Heights. The brick row house is offered by Fred A. Werner Inc. of Lansdowne for 11 959 dollars. Baker hopes to leave Folcroft soon, though he says some neighbors are decent.
