The Public School Education of the east side Polonia...

The father of the very successful Public School System in Hamtramck that educated the majority of the Polish children in that community was Dr. Maurice R. Keyworth. He is/was a very revered person in the history of the Polish Community in Hamtramck. If you look closely at the yellowed page at the left you can see it says, "Copyright, 1927, by M.R. Keyworth."
Keyworth Stadium on Gallagher St., my childhood street, was named in his honor and has been the venue of some very famous gatherings like the President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s visit of 1936.

Great Site! The old book especially caught my eye and the photos of the churches are nothing short of inspiring! I will be monitoring this site often and have put it in my "favorites".
