The National Trust for Historic Preservation is proud to present the National Rosenwald Schools Conference: 100 Years of Pride, Progress, and Preservation to be held at Tuskegee University in Tuskegee, Alabama.
Tuskegee and the surrounding area will serve as a living laboratory through field trips, education sessions, and informative on-your-own activities that will foster the documentation, promotion and preservation of Rosenwald Schools.
About the Rosenwald Schools
The Rosenwald School Building Program has been called the "most influential philanthropic force that came to the aid of Negroes at that time." It began in 1912 and eventually provided seed grants for the construction of more than 5,300 buildings in 15 states, including schools, shops, and teachers' houses which were built by and for African Americans.
