===Land=== The Hungerford campus had grown to {{convert|300|acre|ha}} in 1950, and was held in trust for the school. That land was almost 40% of the town of Eatonville. However, OCPS purchased the land from the trust in 1951 for about $16,000 with the stipulation that it be used "for the education of Black children".<ref name=SUN /> Since the original purchase, OCPS has petitioned the courts multiple times to reduce the number of acres required to be used for the education of black children from 300 to 100 with OCPS receiving almost $8 million. The remaining {{convert|100|acre|ha}} parcel was appraised in 2019 for $20 million, but the OCPS announced their intention to sell the land to a developer for $14 million on March 31, 2023.<ref name=SUN /> The plans include a "new community" of 350 homes, apartments, retail businesses and restaurants. Existing residents claim the new development would wipe out the historic community and violate the land agreement, so locals are in a fight with the school board.<ref name=SUN /> [[File:Hurston-Zora-Neale-LOC.jpg|thumb|200x200px|[[Zora Neale Hurston]]]]
