Black enrollment aiding Catholic schools in city areas
Bernice Pope and Walter Pope pay 2150 yearly for Our Lady of Lourdes as their five children attend Catholic school, reflecting a rising trend of Black non Catholics flocking to urban parochial schools for safety, discipline, and perceived better education. The shift fuels parochial schools while public schools face ongoing desegregation and funding tensions and tuition rises.
