Lafayette through the decades

Each set of images taking you through different eras of Lafayette. From inside the classrooms, to the people, to showcases, to the protests that erupted in 2013 from the school community to keep the school open – these collected images allow you to travel through time. Images are sourced from the following: “Lafayette Elementary” Facebook Page, Public Articles, directly shared to the organizers of project and physical images scanned + digitized as well as public archives (Chicago Public Library, Chicago History Museum, DePaul Archives, UIC Archives, etc.) Do you have photos you would like to add to this archive?
