Give it to the town and instead of building a new police department renovate and use Walker for the Police dept. It is only a couple of blocks from where they are going to build the new department.

My father had the chance to be a principle there. The school has such a great historical value. I hope that it can be preserved.

Surely some grant money could be found to renovate the building and bring it back to a useful life. Tell Bob Steinberg to earn his salary increase and help us get preservation tax credits to do whatever it takes to save DF Walker.

D.F Walker isn't just a building like many others standing in Edenton & deteriorating. It's a landmark staple of POSITIVE history in our hometown! It was at one point the Negro High School, my dad born in 1938 graduated from here. This was a haven for educational soundness. Let's keep it standing and make it beautiful as it once was.

This building is a historic landmark in this community and I don't feel it should be torn down. This community have nothing for the youth and this building give them an outlet to go instead of the streets

D.F.Walker must be preserved at all cost. This is a landmark institution of learning that served the African-American community in Edenton for many, many, years. We can never forget where we can from, and the generation now, and the generations of the unborn must know where there ancestors came from especially when it comes to education!! My graduation class of 1969 was the last all Black high school class. Yes, let's Save D.F.Walker!
