But for Jordan Diamond, a garden shed can harbor more than odds and ends\u2014it can harbor history.<\/p>\n<p>Diamond works for Bountiful Cities as the FEAST program and garden coordinator at Lucy S. Herring Elementary School, formerly Vance Elementary, in West Asheville. As coordinator, Diamond teaches kids to get their hands dirty. Her lessons focus on planting carrot seedlings, observing pollinators and picking blueberries in the Peace Garden, an urban oasis where pear trees and purple basil plants thrive.<\/p>\n<p>For the past nine years, Diamond has used derelict plastic trays she found in the school\u2019s storage shed for class projects like starting seeds and dissecting flowers. The mustard yellow platters are fairly nondescript save for fading block letters that read \u201cLucy Herring.\u201d It was not until this February, when the Asheville City Board of Education voted unanimously to rename Vance Elementary, that Diamond realized the cafeteria trays are relics from the original Lucy S. Herring Elementary School\u2014a school that served Black students prior to integration.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_46720\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-46720\" class=\"wp-image-46720\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/History-Lucy-S.-Herring-Elementary-original-trays.-Photo-by-Jordan-Diamond.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/History-Lucy-S.-Herring-Elementary-original-trays.-Photo-by-Jordan-Diamond.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/History-Lucy-S.-Herring-Elementary-original-trays.-Photo-by-Jordan-Diamond-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/History-Lucy-S.-Herring-Elementary-original-trays.-Photo-by-Jordan-Diamond-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/History-Lucy-S.-Herring-Elementary-original-trays.-Photo-by-Jordan-Diamond-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/History-Lucy-S.-Herring-Elementary-original-trays.-Photo-by-Jordan-Diamond-810x1080.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/History-Lucy-S.-Herring-Elementary-original-trays.-Photo-by-Jordan-Diamond-1140x1520.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-46720\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lucy S. Herring Elementary original trays. Photo by Jordan Diamond<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIt felt like I had found fate hiding in the garden shed,\u201d says Diamond. \u201cSerendipity brought those trays here decades before the school\u2019s name would change to match them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In 1916, at just 16 years old, Lucy S. Herring emerged as an advocate for African American education in Western North Carolina. After earning her North Carolina teaching certificate, she taught at the Swannanoa Colored School, a one-room schoolhouse with unpainted walls and a pot-bellied stove. Throughout her career, Herring would connect with hundreds of students at similarly underfunded Buncombe County schools like Hill Street Elementary and Stephens-Lee High.<\/p>\n<p>From 1941 to 1949, she would also act as principal for Mountain Street School. Under her leadership, Mountain Street became the first Black elementary school in the city to be fully accredited. In the 1960s, when the four-classroom building was razed and another one constructed, the new school was named in Herring\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt makes me feel humble,\u201d Herring told the Asheville Citizen-Times in 1962. \u201cI feel a sense of gratitude, but deep humility more than anything else. It makes you take a second look at yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The original Lucy S. Herring Elementary School was open for nearly a decade but closed in 1970 as part of the City\u2019s desegregation plan. Since 1997, the building has housed the administrative offices of Asheville City Schools, says Roy Harris, who served on the Asheville City Board of Education from 1997 to 2004.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen integration started taking place, many Black schools closed or became recreational centers because whites weren\u2019t about to send their kids there,\u201d says Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Lucy S. Herring Elementary was no different. But today, both the school and its namesake live on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe trays give us something tangible in our city\u2019s history to talk about,\u201d says Diamond. \u201cWe wind up discussing why the school\u2019s name changed, who Lucy Herring was and the contributions she made to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more about the Lucy S.
