THE ROSENWALD SCHOOL RESTORATION

The year was 1917, and Booker T. Washington, along with philanthropist Julius Rosenwald, came up with an initiative to help Black children in the segregated South get the education they deserved. They established the Rosenwald school. In less than 20 years, there would be five thousand of these state-of-the-art schools, spread across 15 states. Today, only a few remain, but one of them is still standing on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. As part of Another View’s look at Black Nonprofits, producer Lisa Godley shares a little history about the Rosenwald School in Cape Charles and the valiant effort that’s now underway to restore the historic schoolhouse.
