- Description
- Text of a lecture delivered to the Sphex Club in Lynchburg. This academic paper outlines the historical partnership between Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington, focusing on their work to improve African American education in the early 20th century. It details how Rosenwald, influenced by his philanthropic ethos and Washington's educational vision, funded the construction of thousands of schools for black children in the South. The paper discusses the architecture and community impact of these "Rosenwald Schools," highlighting their significance in the context of segregation and the fight for equality. It also touches on the eventual decline of these schools with desegregation but notes their legacy and efforts to preserve them as important cultural and historical sites. Schewel reported on efforts to restore and repurpose the Campbell County Training School Assembly Building in Rustburg, a former Rosenwald School.
