The Rosenwald Program improved education for African Americans in the South. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Institute and Julius Rosenwald, philanthropist and president of Sears Roebuck, built state-of-the art schools for African-American children across the South. The effort has been called the most important initiative to advance black education in the early 20th century.

When a 1954 Supreme Court ruling declared segregation in education unconstitutional, Rosenwald Schools became obsolete.

Despite the schools’ historical significance, only a small percentage of Americans are familiar with the structures and their impact on our nation’s history. While some schools are being preserved for community use – such as the San Domingo Community and Cultural Center in Mardela Springs - lack of resources and neglect threaten many others. 

This class will be presented by Dr. Clara Small, author and professor emeritus in history at Salisbury University.
