<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect,&nbsp;completed&nbsp;this building in 1914.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and began
his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the
Holman Field Administration Building and the Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s
and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black /forum/african-american-
militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his entry into the Minnesota National Guard during World War I. As the leader of that group, he was given the rank of captain, from which historic-
the nickname "Cap" was derived. After retiring from the City of St. Paul in 1949, Wigington began a private architectural practice in California.

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic- african-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 01:47 PM places/locations/southern american,rosenwald-

should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 01:47 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for Alligator, North Carolina,

<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>Initially inhabited by the Anticostan Native Americans, landowner George Mason purchased the island as a personal residence in 1717. During the Civil War the island&rsquo;s population and
purpose shifted again as the federal government used the island as Camp Greene, a place to house and train African American soldiers. The island&rsquo;s seclusion provided the federal government
with an ideal location to train and house freed blacks in a city full of racism and white supremacists who felt threatened by African American troops trained to use weapons. In 1863, blacks could
officially serve in the Union troops and at least two African American companies went through their training on this site. Also, 11,000 of the 40,000 African Americans seeking freedom in DC went
through the island&rsquo;s government-run contraband camps before reaching freedom in the District. </p>
<p>The activities at Analostan Island connect the experiences of African Americans in DC to the larger narrative of African American history during the Civil War. Contraband camps such as Camp
Greene spread throughout the North during the war after Army Officer Benjamin Butler refused to return escaped slaves to the South and instead classified them as contraband. This classification meant
that because slaves were viewed as property, once they fell into enemy hands they constituted contraband of the Union Army and therefore would not be returned to their former owners. Once classified
as contraband, former slaves received their freedom but were still exploited as laborers who helped build many forts in the District of Columbia. </p>
<p>&nbsp;The experience of African American troops on the island also reflects the experience of African Americans who served in the Union Army throughout the North. On January 1, 1863,
President Abraham Lincoln passed the Emancipation Proclamation which both freed slaves and officially allowed black men to serve in combat. In response, the government formed the United States
Colored Troops (USCT) regiments for black servicemen. Although African American soldiers experienced severe discrimination and racism while serving, 200,000 freed blacks still volunteered to serve
in the Army and Navy. Several of these regiments went on to work at the defense points of Washington. By preserving and examining African American history at Analostan Island (now Theodore
Roosevelt Island) we can better understand the African American experience during the Civil War. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>In 1864 famous abolitionist and writer Sojourner Truth visited the island after arriving to DC. Born into slavery in New York, Truth received her freedom in 1827 and moved to New York City with
her two youngest children. While in New York she became active in missionary work. Her work eventually led her to leave New York in 1843 to go on missionary and abolitionist speaking tours across
the country. Throughout these tours Truth became involved in the growing women&rsquo;s movement and achieved fame as a public speaker and writer. Today, Truth&rsquo;s work,
&ldquo;Ain&rsquo;t I a Woman?&rdquo; remains one of the most studied and taught speeches in American history. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>This eighty eight acre island was purchased by the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Association in 1931. Since then the island has been preserved as a wildlife reserve and memorial to Theodore
Roosevelt. Today, the National Park Service maintains the land and allows the public to use nature trails and a boardwalk to view the forest and swamp.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>

<p>Archer Huntington, son of transportation magnate Collis P. Huntington, and Anna Hyatt Huntington, noted sculptress, purchased Brookgreen and three adjoining plantations in January of 1930 as
their site for a winter home and as a setting for Mrs. Huntington's sculpture. Construction of the house began the following winter. The home was named "Atalaya", a Spanish term for watchtower.
Archer Huntington, a noted authority on Spanish history, designed the house after the Moorish architecture of the Spanish Mediterranean Coast.</p><p>Atalaya was built over a three year period, from
1931 to 1933, apparently without detailed written plans. Work on the building was not continuous, but divided between Atalaya and Brookgreen Gardens. Archer Huntington, wanting to provide work
opportunities for community residents during the Great Depression, insisted that local labor be utilized in its construction.</p><p>The outer walls of the building form a square, 200 feet on each side,
with the front facing the ocean. Within the walled structure there is a large, open inner court with a small entry court at the rear. The living quarters consist of 30 rooms around three sides of the
perimeter. The large, one-story building is dominated by a square tower that rises nearly 40 feet from a covered walkway that bisects the inner court. It is functional in design, having contained a 3,000
gallon water tank made of cypress. Water drawn from an artesian well was pumped into a 10,000 gallon concrete cistern where the sand settled out. From there, it was pumped into the tower tank. The
height of this tank gave the water enough pressure to flow through the house.</p><p>The covered walkway of open brickwork is lined with archways and planters on both sides. Living facilities
including the dining room, sunroom, library and bedrooms, occupied the front portion of the house. The southern wing housed Archer's spacious study, his secretary's office and Anna's studio. The
studio, with a 25-foot skylight, opened onto a small enclosed courtyard where she worked on her sculptures. Anna enjoyed sculpting live animals, therefore, facilities such as horse stables, a dog kennel
and a bear pen were included in the construction.</p><p>Heating was done entirely by coal room heaters and wood fireplaces. Ramps, instead of stairs, lead from the courtyards up to each entry door,
and wood was hauled in by small carts. Specially designed grillwork of handwrought iron and shutters were installed on each window to protect against hurricane winds, all of which Anna herself

<p>Circa 1911. Architect Archibald Alexander designed this site. Alexander became the State University of Iowa&rsquo;s first black engineer and football player when he earned his Bachelor of
Science degree in 1912. Once graduating, Alexander attempted to find engineering work but experienced severe racism and discrimination. As a result, he began his own engineering company, A.A.
Alexander, Inc. in 1914. In order to expand his business, he partnered with white contractor George F. Higbee in 1917. Although interracial businesses were extremely rare during this period, the two ran
a successful firm and renamed the company Alexander &amp; Higbee, Inc. &nbsp;In 1925 Higbee unexpectedly died in a construction accident, making Alexander the sole proprietor of the engineering
firm again. He worked on projects independently again until 1929 when he began to work with Maurice A. Repass, his second white business partner. This partnership proved to be particularly
successful. While together, the team expanded their business efforts to a national scale and opened up a second office in Washington, DC. After a successful career in bridge, sewer system, and road
construction, Archibald Alexander died in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1958.</p>

<p>Circa 1932. Robert Robinson Taylor&nbsp;is by some accounts the first accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first African American at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology when he enrolled in 1888.&nbsp;Tyler designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior to 1932, and even served as second-in-command to Tuskegee's
founder and first President, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893. The new Science Hall was
constructed entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee students, the descendants of
former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building trades, and it underscored the larger

<p>Established in 1912 by Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald, the Rosenwald rural school building program worked to improve African American education throughout the South in the early
twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 01:47 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 01:47 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect,&nbsp;completed&nbsp;this building in 1914.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and began
his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the
Holman Field Administration Building and the Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s
and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black
militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his entry into the Minnesota National Guard during World War I. As the leader of that group, he was given the rank of captain, from which /forum/african-american-
the nickname "Cap" was derived. After retiring from the City of St. Paul in 1949, Wigington began a private architectural practice in California. He died soon after moving to Kansas City, Missouri in Sep 21, 2009 01:47 PM historic- Red Leader Wrapper for 209 W Page St, St Paul,

into slavery but later succeeded in teaching or business. The cemetery continues to be used and maintained by the City of Auburn. Though located at the base of a slope, the cemetery derives its name

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic- african-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 01:48 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for american,neighborhoods,

basement is an evocative barbershop full of civil rights-era news pictures and portraits, including one of its most famous customers, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., when he lived in the now-restored
parsonage just yards up Jackson Street. With the exception of the barbershop, the rest of the hotel is only a memory of its former self. The first floor Majestic Cafe no longer serves meals. The second

Dr. L. Cattlett Stubbs donated one acre of land to his formerly enslaved butler, James F. Lemon. Mr. Lemon and other pious individuals used the land for their church; first meeting on crude benches
under bush arbors, then constructing a small but well-built church with an altar railing, pulpit, and gallery. The present sanctuary dates to 1889. The chairmen of the building committee were carpenter Bethel Baptist Church is the oldest independent African American /forum/african-american-

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 01:48 PM places/locations/southwes Red Leader Wrapper for african-american,sacred-

<p>From its establishment in 1760 until the death of its schoolmistress Mrs. Anne Wager in 1774, the Bray School in Williamsburg, the royal capital of Virginia, was a success although it faced
indifference and even opposition from some local planters and slave owners.&nbsp; As many as thirty black children at a time, enslaved and free, were taught the rudiments of the Christian religion as
well as skills such as reading, and in the case of girls, sewing.&nbsp; They were general encouraged in good manners and deportment and taught other social graces.&nbsp; It is most likely the oldest
extant building in the United States associated with black education.</p>
<p>The Williamsburg Bray School was born from a number of initiatives undertaken by the Associates of Dr. Bray, one of several organizations based in London and originating from the extraordinary
efforts of Reverend Thomas Bray (1658-1730).&nbsp; Each organization had charge to spread Christianity, with the Associates having a focus on the "heathens" of the new world, both Indians and

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:20 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

<p>Architect William Cooke designed this site. Originally from Greenville, South Carolina, Cooke attended Claflin University from 1888 to 1893 and studied architectural drawing under Robert
Charles Bates. In October 1894 Cooke was elected by the trustees of Georgia State Industrial College for Colored Youth in Savannah as superintendent of the Industrial Department. At the school, he
added carpentry and masonry into the Manual Training Department and also designed buildings for the university&rsquo;s campus.&nbsp; In 1897 Cooke returned to Claflin to teach and continue his
education. In 1902 he graduated with his Bachelor of Science in technology degree. Afterwards, Cooke went on to have an extremely successful career. From 1921-1929 he owned his own firm in Gary,
Indiana and became the first African American to be licensed to practice architecture in the state of Indiana. </p>

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic- african-

<p>Hampton Cottage, the residence of the principal of the Calhoun Colored School, is the last surviving structure reflecting the influence of the Hampton-Tuskegee vocationalism on black education at
the turn of the century. The house, built between 1900-1910, was originally one of six teachers cottages and has been used by the principal since 1947, when Thorn Cottage, the original residence of the
founder and principal, was destroyed by fire. The Calhoun Colored School was established in 1892, with the support of General Samuel Armstrong and Booker T. Washington, by Charlotte R. Thorn
and Mabel Dillingham. The two women had taught together at Hampton Institute. Thorn made Calhoun into one of the most influential black schools in the South. The success of the school was
attributed to her program of vocational education and community work, which continued until 1932. In 1943, the state of Alabama acquired the school, and the Lowndes County Board of Education /forum/african-american-
assumed responsibility for supervising Calhoun as a public school. Today, the Calhoun School remains a predominatley black rural public school. </p> historic-

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:21 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic- women,african-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:21 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for american,neighborhoods,

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect,&nbsp;completed&nbsp;this building in 1936.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and began
his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the
Holman Field Administration Building and the Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s
and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black
militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his entry into the Minnesota National Guard during World War I. As the leader of that group, he was given the rank of captain, from which /forum/african-american-
the nickname "Cap" was derived. After retiring from the City of St. Paul in 1949, Wigington began a private architectural practice in California. He died soon after moving to Kansas City, Missouri in Sep 21, 2009 02:39 PM historic- Red Leader Wrapper for 1000 Walsh St, St Paul,

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Circa 1869: Original School. Circa 1926: Current School.

<p>Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in Selma, Alabama, Duke&rsquo;s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly escaping a lynch mob in Alabama.
Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to college Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At Phillips Exeter he served as president of the debate
team and became the first African American graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his education and he became the first African American to earn a Bachelor of Arts
degree in mathematics from Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a Master of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in 1913. </p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke as the first African
American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service, Duke established his own firm and
worked to improve housing for impoverished African Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he secured funds to build Chicago&rsquo;s first public
housing building. He continued his civil rights work in 1929 when he established the National Technical Association, an organization formed to encourage African Americans to enter the technical
fields. During the Great Depression, Duke became forced to close his private practice; however, he quickly found work with the U.S. Resettlement Bureau, Homestead Subsistence Division in
Washington, D.C. Shortly before his death in 1952, Charles Duke had reestablished his private practice in Chicago.</p> /forum/african-american-

<p>Architect Archibald Alexander designed this site. Alexander became the State University of Iowa&rsquo;s first black engineer and football player when he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in
1912. Once graduating, Alexander attempted to find engineering work but experienced severe racism and discrimination. As a result, he began his own engineering company, A.A. Alexander, Inc. in
1914. In order to expand his business, he partnered with white contractor George F. Higbee in 1917. Although interracial businesses were extremely rare during this period, the two ran a successful firm
and renamed the company Alexander &amp; Higbee, Inc. &nbsp;In 1925 Higbee unexpectedly died in a construction accident, making Alexander the sole proprietor of the engineering firm again. He
worked on projects independently again until 1929 when he began to work with Maurice A. Repass, his second white business partner. This partnership proved to be particularly successful. While
together, the team expanded their business efforts to a national scale and opened up a second office in Washington, DC. After a successful career in bridge, sewer system, and road construction,
Archibald Alexander died in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1958.</p>

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Circa 1875: Original School. Circa 1927: Current Building.

<p>Donald Frank White was an African American architect known for his lengthy academic career and work with multiple state governments. Born May 28, 1908 in Canada, White&rsquo;s family
moved to Cicero, Illinois where his father worked as a patternmaker. In 1932, White received his bachelor&rsquo;s degree in architecture from the University of Michigan. During his undergraduate
years, he interned for prominent architects such as Dr. Frederick E. Giesecke, the Department Head at Texas Agricultural &amp; Mechanical College. White went on to get his master&rsquo;s degree in
architecture from Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan and later joined the staff of Tuskegee Institute. A trailblazer, White was the first African American architect
registered in the states of Alabama and Michigan, as well as the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects. White was an active supporter of the National Association for the

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect,&nbsp;completed&nbsp;this building in 1915.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and began
his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the
Holman Field Administration Building and the Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s
and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black
militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his entry into the Minnesota National Guard during World War I. As the leader of that group, he was given the rank of captain, from which /forum/african-american- african-
the nickname "Cap" was derived. After retiring from the City of St. Paul in 1949, Wigington began a private architectural practice in California.

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:40 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

<p>Circa 1915. Architect John A. Lankford (1874-1946) designed this building. In 1922 Lankford became the first professionally licensed African American architect in Virginia and in 1924 he became
licensed in the District of Columbia as well. Born on a farm near Potosi, Missouri on December 4, 1874, he attended Lincoln Institute and Tuskegee Institute. He studied architectural and mechanical
drawing from the International Correspondence School. He earned a bachelor of science from Shaw University in 1898. He earned Master of Science degrees from Morris Brown College and
Wilberforce University. In 1902, he moved to Washington, D.C. to finish the design of the True Reformer Building, and later became appointed as supervising architect for the African Methodist
Episcopal denomination. He organized the National Negro Business League chapter in Washington, D.C. in 1905. While he designed buildings in several states, Lankford based his business in
Washington, DC, and worked there until his death in 1946.</p>

<p>Donald Frank White was an African American architect known for his lengthy academic career and work with multiple state governments. Born May 28, 1908 in Canada, White&rsquo;s family
moved to Cicero, Illinois where his father worked as a patternmaker. In 1932, White received his bachelor&rsquo;s degree in architecture from the University of Michigan. During his undergraduate
years, he interned for prominent architects such as Dr. Frederick E. Giesecke, the Department Head at Texas Agricultural &amp; Mechanical College. White went on to get his master&rsquo;s degree in
architecture from Rackham School of Graduate Studies at the University of Michigan and later joined the staff of Tuskegee Institute. A trailblazer, White was the first African American architect
registered in the states of Alabama and Michigan, as well as the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects. White was an active supporter of the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). White lived his later life with his wife Susie in New York, where he died in 2002, leaving a legacy of accomplishments.</p>

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic- african-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:40 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for american,neighborhoods,

<p>Circa 1920. Architect Samuel Plato designed this site. In 1898 Plato attended the State University in Louisville, Kentucky, and studied law. In 1905 he moved to Northeastern Indiana where he
found small finish carpentry work that ultimately led to larger contracts. In 1919 Plato returned to Louisville, Kentucky, where he continued to have a successful architecture career. After 1940, he
increasingly received larger contracts from the federal government, including designing Post Offices. </p>

<p>Martin Luther King, Jr. lived in this parsonage when he was minister of the church between 1954 and 1960. On January 31, 1956, following the successful Montgomery bus boycott, King's home
was bombed by local segregationists. At the time, King was at a meeting, but his wife, Coretta Scott King, was at the parsonage with her ten-week-old daughter Yolanda Denice, also known as "Yoki."
After King had verified that both were unhurt, he addressed the angry crowd of African Americans outside. "Don't do anything panicky," he advised. "I did not start this boycott. I was asked by you to
serve as your spokesman. I want it to be known the length and breadth of this land that if I am stopped, this movement will not stop." In February 1957, when King was alone in the parsonage with
Morehouse College friend Bob Williams, something disturbed King. He told Williams they should leave the parsonage immediately. Several hours later, after the two men had gone to Williams' house, a
bomb exploded outside the parsonage, crushing the front part of a house and shattering the windows of three parked taxis, injuring the drivers. At the empty parsonage, 12 sticks of dynamite lay on the
front porch. Only a few days after the bombing, police arrested seven white men. Two of them admitted to the crime, but despite their signed confessions, they were acquitted by a jury. </p> /forum/african-american-

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National

Institute of Technology in 1914. Persley then joined the faculty of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. One of his few projects in Georgia, Persley designed a new building for the First African Methodist
Episcopal Church on this site in 1916. First AME began as Pierce's Chapel in 1866, believed to be the first congregation in Athens established by African Americans after the Civil War. Persley went on
to design buildings including this Masonic Temple in Birmingham, and several structures on the campus of Tuskegee. On April 5, 1920 became the first African American to register with the new
Georgia State Board of Registered Architects.</p>

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-

<p>The District of Columbia?s south cornerstone represents one of the oldest artifacts associated with the U.S. Capital. Survey stones were set in mile increments around the perimeter of the Capital
City?s boundary. Benjamin Banneker, a free black mathematician and astronomer, was chosen by Major Andrew Ellicott to locate the south corner in Jones Point and maintain the survey?s accuracy
through astronomical calculations and measurements. Banneker camped out on Jones Point at the survey base camp through cold weather in order to maintain the instruments and provide accurate
calculations. Banneker?s assignment to the survey team was a critical step in his career, leading to his current title as the first black man of science. Access to the team?s finely-tuned instruments at

was one of the University's earliest major contributors. Before renovations to complete Tuskegee University's Kellogg Hotel in Alabama, Dorothy Hall served as the University's guest house, dining
area, and home to one of the nation's pioneers in agricultural and natural science research,Dr. George Washington Carver. This building was the place where female students were taught in the industrial
arts.&nbsp;</p>
<p><span>Robert Robinson Taylor&nbsp;designed this building. Taylor is by some accounts the first accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first African
American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in 1888.&nbsp;Tyler designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior to 1932, and even served as second-
in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893.
The new Science Hall was constructed entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee
students, the descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building trades, and
it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being developed at Tuskegee. He died while attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building he considered his finest
achievement.</span></p>

first African American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in 1888.&nbsp;Tyler designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior to 1932, and even served
as second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed
in 1893. The new Science Hall was constructed entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in
Tuskegee students, the descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building
trades, and it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being developed at Tuskegee. He died while attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building he considered his finest

Circa 1936: When


Douglass High School (El Centro, CA) douglass-high-school-CA.bin <p>Circa 1936: When the school was created, not when the building was built. </p>
<p>Established in 1912 by Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald, the Rosenwald rural school building program worked to improve African American education throughout the South in the early
twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:40 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

Edward Pryce. Edward Pryce has been an artist since he was nine-years-old. Although he was praised and encouraged by an art teacher at his Los Angeles, California school, it would be many years
before&nbsp;Pryce would be known to the public as an artist. With advanced degrees in Landscape Architecture, he became Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds at Tuskegee University. Here, he
used the school's machine shop tools and abandoned wood to begin his life as a sculpture. Edward attributes his think large attitude to his training in landscape design. Edward uses his artwork to
promote the history and heritage of his African and Egyptian ancestors. He wants the youth of today to find themselves in artwork that represents their ancient past. Edward's first work with copper
began by making woodcuts. Copper sheets were pressed into the woodcuts to form a raised pattern. Today, he creates his copper repose pieces by first making a sketch on Mylar, then using a stylus to
trace the lines onto copper. The copper is turned over and pressed to create the three-dimensional appearance of low relief. Pryce's art is also on exhibit at the Southern Roots Gallery and as murals at
Tuskegee University and Tuskegee High School.</span></p>

<p>Established in 1912 by Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald, the Rosenwald rural school building program worked to improve African American education throughout the South in the early
twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:57 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

<p>Circa 1937.&nbsp;Architect Archibald Alexander designed this site. Alexander became the State University of Iowa&rsquo;s first black engineer and football player when he earned his Bachelor of
Science degree in 1912. Once graduating, Alexander attempted to find engineering work but experienced severe racism and discrimination. As a result, he began his own engineering company, A.A.
Alexander, Inc. in 1914. In order to expand his business, he partnered with white contractor George F. Higbee in 1917. Although interracial businesses were extremely rare during this period, the two ran
a successful firm and renamed the company Alexander &amp; Higbee, Inc. &nbsp;In 1925 Higbee unexpectedly died in a construction accident, making Alexander the sole proprietor of the engineering
firm again. He worked on projects independently again until 1929 when he began to work with Maurice A. Repass, his second white business partner. This partnership proved to be particularly
successful. While together, the team expanded their business efforts to a national scale and opened up a second office in Washington, DC. After a successful career in bridge, sewer system, and road
construction, Archibald Alexander died in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1958.</p>

<p>Eden Cemetery is the oldest African American owned cemetery in the U.S. Located in Collingdale, Delaware county, Pennsylvania, it is comprised of 53 beautiful rolling acres. The Cemetery was
established on June 20, 1902 and today there are over 85,000 interred at Eden. Buried at Eden are abolitionists and Underground Railroad activists. These include William Still, Frances Ellen Watkins
Harper, Stephen Smith, Octavius Valentine Catto and members of the First African Baptist Church (1823-1842). The most famous of these being William Still, the "father of the underground railroad."
Still was laid to rest here in 1902. Still's interviews with former slaves, including one who turned out to be his long lost brother Peter, grew into the book "The Underground Railroad", published in 1872.
Buried with him are his wife Letitia and his daughter Caroline.

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:57 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

Elliott Daingerfield, located next to the future site of the Museum. The "face lift" will entail the removal of the rear section that was added to the four-room front section designed by Mr. Daingerfield.
Also, included in this operation is the removal of the front studio area on the second floor, so that area may be returned to its original form as a railed deck.</p><p>"Fortunately there are wonderful old
pictures that show both areas of the home, and are extremely significant in planning this proposed surgery," explained Ginny Stevens, BRAHM trustee and chair of the Edgewood Cottage committee for
the Historical Society. "At the moment, the asbestos survey is being undertaken, and must be completed prior to the "face lift." You will soon see major surgery taking place at the Cottage. The
committee is delighted to have this major operation planned for and under way."</p><p>When this phase is completed, the house will be winterized to cover the open sections and a few roof areas that
are fragile and open to the wind and snows. The house then will be stabilized for the winter and ready to begin intensive work in the spring to rehabilitate it as an adjunct exhibit to the new Museum. The
first phase will include exterior renovations, a new roof and raising the house on steel beams to replace some of the piers on which it stands, as well as to perform floor reconstruction. This will be
completed in the first year, with the interior restoration work finished in the second year. The entire restoration is scheduled to be completed by September 2007. </p><p>Very fragile home built by

Jefferson went to France, he left his two motherless youngest daughters, Lucy Elizabeth and Mary, with the Eppes. Lucy died, and Jefferson, grief stricken, sent for Sally Hemings to bring Mary to
France. Sally and her family, including her sister Critta lived at Eppington as well as Monticello and other family properties. Frances Eppes, VI at any given time in his adult life owned hundreds of
slaves. He came to slavery the old Virginia way: through inheritance and marriage. Because his father in law, John Wayles of Forest in Charles City County, died in debt both Eppes and his brother in
law Thomas Jefferson struggled to settle the estate. A great portion of that estate was comprised of slaves. For, along with more genteel titles, John Wayles was also a slave trader. Some os Wayles's /forum/african-american-

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 02:58 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

High School, following a school year that began with a Constitutional crisis. Like the rest of the Little Rock Nine, Ernest came from a family which placed a lot of emphasis on the importance of
education and personal development. At the end of his junior year at Horace Mann, Ernest volunteered to attend the all-white Little Rock Central High School in fall of 1957 and help desegregate the
city?s largest high school. Central High offered a wider and more complex curriculum than Horace Mann did, making the educational opportunities available quite desirable. Not only did Ernest survive /forum/african-american- http://www.culturaltouris

<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 8.5pt;">Robert Robinson Taylor&nbsp;designed this building. Taylor is by some accounts the first
accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first African American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in 1888.&nbsp;Taylor designed most of
the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior to 1932, and even served as second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on
the Tuskegee University campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893. The new Science Hall was constructed entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's
supervision. The project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee students, the descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it provided an
example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building trades, and it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being developed at Tuskegee. He died while
attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building he considered his finest achievement.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: &quot;Verdana&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: black; font-size: 8.5pt;">In addition to the building's affiliation with Taylor, this site is also associated with the civil
rights movement. In 1964 ReverenceT.Y. Rogers, Jr. organized the local community and led a successful civil rights protest against&nbsp;"whites only" signs hung in the Tuscaloosa
courthouse.&nbsp;The community's&nbsp;effortseventually resulted in a federal court hearing that ruled in favor of the protesters. </span></p>

<p>A number of African Americans worshipped in the Manley Memorial Church, the Episcopal Church and the Presbyterian Church. African Americans felt the need of a church of their own. Sermons
were continuously preached from the text, "Servants be obedient to your masters at all times." Being children of the living God, they realized that it was he to whom they owed allegiance. Loyal were
they as slaves and servants but they longed for a supreme mater, the true friend, the everlasting Father. This body of worshipers was know as the Black Baptists. On September 22, 1867, the group was
permitted to withdraw and organize as the Lexington African Baptist Church. They were counseled, best wishes were extended and friendly feelings prevailed. Meetings were held in many places to the
church that stood on the land next to the present church (on the north side). Rev. Milton Smith, who was reared in the community and baptized in the Manley Baptist Church in 1841, was the leader. He
must hve been to the early church as Moses was to the children of Israel. Other ministers followed Rev. Smith's five year ministry. That particular building was used approximately twenty-six years. The
membership purchased the lot next to their church and decided to erect a new building. Many courageous souls joined the crusade of donations. Friends, laborers, and others gathered after working all
day and dug the foundation. The womenheld lanterns to provide after working light as there was not any electricity in Lexington. Later came the masons. They were the Moores from Amherst, Va. Local
residents helped them with the carpentry, hence the edifice that is currently used for worship became a reality. On July 4, 1894, the cornerstone was laid. Monday night, September 29, 1905, was an
exciting and interesting occasion at First Baptist Church. The record states that 1400 persons attended. The mortgage was paid and the bonds were burned by the bondsmen and the late Sadie Lewis. A number of African Americans worshipped in the Manley

<p>The First Baptist Church is one of the major landmarks associated with the civil rights rallies and demonstrations of the mid-1960s that led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The
congregation was organized in the early 1840s by a freed slave, Samuel Phillips, and shared its church building with a white congregation. Shortly after the Civil War, the white congregation bought out
claims of the African Americans, who then constructed a new building on St. Phillips Street. The church also played a significant role as the headquarters for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating /forum/african-american-

<p>First Baptist Church, South Richmond, is the oldest indepent Black church in the current bounds of the city of Richmond. Since its founding, the churches been known by at least three different
names. Organized in 1821 as The African Church of Manchester, in 1865, after the Civil War, it became known as The First Baptist Church of Manchester. With merger of the cities of Richmond and
Manchester in 1910, the church became known as The First Baptist Church of South Richmond. Organized by free Blacks, 44 years before the end of the Civil War, the church was never part of a white
congregation. Its earliest pastors were Black worship leaders. Between 1836 and 1865, the church was required to hae white pastors. In 1849, The African Church of Manchester was one of two Black
churches to become members of the Middle District Baptist Association. During its existence, the congregation has worshiped in six buildings. The first meeting was held in 1821 in a private home on
Decatur Street between fifth and sixth streets. The next four buildings owned or built by the congregation, were on 7th Street between Perry and Porter. These included in 1823, a frame building donated
by a Free Black merchant, Robert Smith, as evidenced by deed dated December 19, 1823, recorded in the Chesterfield County Courthouse in 1825; a later purchase of a building formerly owned by a
methodist congregation; between 1854 and 1858, the building of a brick church constructed at Seventh and Perry Streets. The congregation, known then as The First Baptist Church of Manachester,
worshiped at this site until July 2, 1892. The congregation first worshiped inits sixth building, located at 15th and Decatur Street, In November of 1892. In the year 2002, this historic church shall have First Baptist Church, South Richmond, is the oldest indepent Black /forum/african-american-

that knowledge is continually developing. As stated formally in the March, 1986 statement of the Fisk University Board of Trustees, the mission of Fisk is to provide liberal arts education of the highest
quality. The ultimate goal is to prepare students to be skilled, resourceful, and imaginative leaders who will address effectively the challenges of life in a technological society, a pluralistic nation, and a

Science degree in 1912. Once graduating, Alexander attempted to find engineering work but experienced severe racism and discrimination. As a result, he began his own engineering company, A.A.
Alexander, Inc. in 1914. In order to expand his business, he partnered with white contractor George F. Higbee in 1917. Although interracial businesses were extremely rare during this period, the two ran
a successful firm and renamed the company Alexander &amp; Higbee, Inc. &nbsp;In 1925 Higbee unexpectedly died in a construction accident, making Alexander the sole proprietor of the engineering
firm again. He worked on projects independently again until 1929 when he began to work with Maurice A. Repass, his second white business partner. This partnership proved to be particularly
successful. While together, the team expanded their business efforts to a national scale and opened up a second office in Washington, DC. After a successful career in bridge, sewer system, and road
construction, Archibald Alexander died in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1958.</p>

promoting a vibrant local economy and quality of life for all citizens in Northern Kentucky.</p><p>One of Forward Quest?s goals was to develop an arts district to promote and capitalize on the visual
and performing arts in Covington. The Frank Duveneck Arts and Cultural Center, the first of such initiatives, currently consists of two buildings, the Duveneck House and the Activity Center, at 1232
Greenup Street in Northern Kentucky.</p><p>Purchased in April 2000 through the generosity of several benefactors and Forward Quest, the property includes the House and Studio of renowned
American painter Frank Duveneck (1848-1919), and the former Klingenberg Hardware Store. The store building, constructed on the site of Squire Duveneck?s summer beer garden, currently functions
as a community arts center. Work continues for the restoration of the House and Studio to showcase his life, works, and his tremendous influence on international and American art, and to recognize the
significant contributions he made locally, as one of the founders of the Cincinnati Art Academy and of the Cincinnati Art Club. The Frank Duveneck Arts and Cultural Center celebrates the spirit of
Frank Duveneck. Frank Duveneck (1848-1919), often referred to as a Cincinnati artist, but actually a native and resident of Covington, Kentucky. The home was built by his stepfather in 1861 and
remained the family residence until Frank Duveneck died in 1919. He lived at this house until he left for Europe at age 21, and always considered it his home, throughout his years abroad and on the
East Coast. After the premature death of his wife in 1889, he returned to Covington for a short period and finally returned to stay in 1899. He remained at this house until his death; during that time he
taught at the Cincinnati Art Academy and also built a painting studio at the rear of the home, c. 1900.</p><p>The house today is in sound structural shape but is in dire need of restoration. It was
purchased by a local non-profit umbrella organization in 1999, and we are currently in the process of forming a separate 501?3 organization for the Frank Duveneck House/Studio, as well as developing
a long term plan for the building's use.</p><p>Painting is a big part of the Cincinnati story. It centers on Frank Duveneck, a Kentuckian who influenced American impressionists and realists through his
international career and through decades of dedicated teaching, first at the art museum and later at the Art Academy of Cincinnati next door to the museum in Eden Park.</p><p>Among works recently
acquired for the new wing is an atypical Duveneck oil of a Gloucester, Mass., scene in 1913 with bright colors. "I think it will come as a surprise to people," Aronson said.</p><p>Unarguably
Covington's most famous native, Duveneck is, undoubtedly, Cincinnati's most famous painter too. An entire gallery of the new Cincinnati Wing is devoted to his bravura brushwork, 125 oils, a small
percentage of the more than 1,000 works owned by the Cincinnati Art Museum.</p><p>If you go . . . The Cincinnati Art Museum, Eden Park, is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday,
until 9 p.m. Wednesday; 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; and noon to 6 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free beginning Saturday. For more information, call (513) 639-2995.</p><p>The Duveneck House, 1226
Greenup St., Covington, Ky., is open by appointment. Call (859) 291-2020. The city of Covington and Forward Quest, a nonprofit agency devoted to future planning, is restoring the Duveneck house at
1226 Greenup St. Due to open this summer, the two-story house will include his restored studio and a studio for an artist-in-residence program that will be part of a community arts center featuring
dance and theater. The $300,000 project is part of plans to create a cultural center in the neighborhood, said Quest president Michael Hammons.</p><p>Duveneck, a child prodigy of immigrant parents,
was sent abroad to study ecclesiastical painting but instead matured into an independent and flamboyant painter and personality known for his circle of disciples, who shared their teacher's zest for
painting all day and taking in caf? life in Munich, Florence and Venice at night. </p><p>Duveneck returned to Cincinnati and, at the request of Storer, became dean of the Art Academy of Cincinnati in
1890, leading it to a national reputation. In 1915 he won the Medal of Honor at the Panama-Pacific Exposition in San Francisco, where an entire gallery was devoted to his paintings.</p><p>His
impressionist style and fresh sense of subjects were on the wild side at the time. "He did make a major splash," Aronson said.</p><p>In addition to the 125 works on view at the Cincinnati Art Museum,
there will be a few early paintings displayed at the Duveneck House in Covington, where the nearby Kenton County Library has an extensive collection of Duveneck's paintings. Also, visitors can see
the murals he did for the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption a few blocks from his house.</p><p>Duveneck House renewal OK </p><p> The Frank Duveneck Arts and Cultural Center was initiated in 1999 /forum/african-american-

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic- https://sites.google.com/a

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 03:32 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

<p>Circa 1913.Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in Selma, Alabama, Duke&rsquo;s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly escaping a lynch mob in
Alabama. Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to college Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At Phillips Exeter he served as president of
the debate team and became the first African American graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his education and he became the first African American to earn a
Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a Master of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in
1913. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke as the first African
American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service, Duke established his own firm and
worked to improve housing for impoverished African Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he secured funds to build Chicago&rsquo;s first public
housing building. He continued his civil rights work in 1929 when he established the National Technical Association, an organization formed to encourage African Americans to enter the technical
fields. During the Great Depression, Duke became forced to close his private practice; however, he quickly found work with the U.S. Resettlement Bureau, Homestead Subsistence Division in
Washington, D.C. Shortly before his death in 1952, Charles Duke had reestablished his private practice in Chicago.</p> /forum/african-american-

<p>Established in 1912 by Booker T.

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 03:33 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for http://www.hamiltoniang

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>

<p>
<p>Circa 1923. This&nbsp;building was designed by John Anderson Lankford.</p>
</p>
<p>John Anderson Lankford (1874-1946) was the first African American architect with an established architectural office.&nbsp;He also was&nbsp;the first professionally licensed African-American
architect in Virginia in 1922 and in the District of Columbia in 1924. He has been regarded as the "dean of black architecture." He also worked as an attorney, blacksmith, real estate broker, professor,
and author.</p>
<p>Born on December 4, 1874, on his parents' farm in Potosi, Missouri, Lankford was one of eleven children of former slaves Philip Anderson Lankford and Nancy Ella Johnson Lankford. Mr.
Lankford's paternal grandfather was Rev. Philip Andrew Lankford (b. 1813, Caucasian); his paternal line can be traced back to the 1600s in France and to 1645 in Albemarle County, Virginia. </p>
<p>After attending public schools in Potosi, Lankford worked in Crystal City, Missouri, in a plate glass factory. Following this, from 1889 to 1896, he attended Lincoln Institute (now Lincoln
University) in Jefferson City, Missouri. Lankford was invited by Booker T. Washington (via letters sent to numerous promising African-Americans of the day) to attend Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.
First, between his time at Lincoln and Tuskegee, he worked in a blacksmith shop in St. Louis. To pay his board at Tuskegee, where he took chemistry and physics classes between 1896 and 1898,
Lankford not only worked in the foundry and steam fitting department, but also as in amateur photographer.</p>
<p>Mr. Lankford received a B.S. from Shaw University in Raleigh, N.C. (1898), where he later taught (1900-02). Here he met his wife, Charlotte Josephine Turner Upshaw (1876-1973), who was the
granddaughter of the famous religious leader and political activist Bishop Henry McNeal Turner (1834-1915). Following his time at Shaw, Lankford received several Masters Degrees, a law degree, and,
later in life, numerous honorary degrees.</p>
<p>Professor Lankford came to Washington, D.C. in July 1902 with a commission in hand to design and supervise the construction of a new hall for the Grand United Order of the True Reformers. True
Reformers Hall was a stately, five-story brick building notable for its arched, 18-foot windows and ornamental frieze. The building was financed, designed, and built entirely by African-Americans.</p>
<p>Lankford was appointed supervising architect for the African Methodist Episcopal denomination. He also organized the National Negro Business League chapter in Washington, D.C. in 1905. In his
later years, he helped establish the School of Architecture at Howard University, and during WWII, he&nbsp;worked as&nbsp;the supervising architect at the Washington Naval Yard.</p>

neighborhood name was first discovered through oral history and further documented through newspaper accounts. Hayti (HAY-TIE) is the historic spelling of Haiti. The slave revolution on Haiti, the
only successful slave uprising in the western hemisphere, inspired the name for this free black neighborhood. The growth of Hayti was fueled by the Trinity Methodist Church whose members were both
white and black. The church was widely attended by African Americans, and at one point, the congregation?s membership constituted 15% of the black population. The Hamilton and Evans households, The ?Hayti? neighborhood was established around the 400 block of /forum/african-american-

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 03:33 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

<p>The Highland Beach Historic District was founded in the summer of 1893 by Charles Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass.&nbsp;Douglass decided to create the waterfront&nbsp;community as
a&nbsp;resort for upperclass African Americans that lived in&nbsp;nearby areas. Although Highland&nbsp;Beach's initial place was to operate as a summer resort, it&nbsp;soon became a town with
residents living&nbsp;in&nbsp;the area&nbsp;year-round&nbsp;&nbsp;It&nbsp;became the first incorporated African American township in the state of Maryland in 1922. The 40-acre tract of land
encompasses&nbsp;about sixty&nbsp;homes most of which are occupied by the descendants of the original owners. During the early twentieth century Highland Beach was the locale for notable
African Americans such as:</p>
<p>Paul Robeson, African-American politica&nbsp;activist, singer, athlete, and&nbsp;actor</p>
<p>Paul Laurence Dunbar, seminal African-American poet of the late 19th and early 20th century</p>
<p>Langston Hughes, famed African-American poet during the Harlem Renaissance</p>
<p>Booker T. Washington, orator and founding president of Tuskegee University</p>
<p>W.E.B. DuBois, seminal scholar, author, activist, and intellectual</p>
<p>Robert Weaver, the firts United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development</p>
<p>Famous abolitionist, author, and orator Frederick Douglass would have been another resident of the community of Highland Beach had he not died while Charles was building his father's home.</p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>In 1992 the Douglass Summer House was introduced to the National Register of Historic Places. Since most residents reside in the original houses of Highland Beach most of the houses in the

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect, designed this building in 1928.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and began
his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the
Holman Field Administration Building and the Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s
and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black
militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his entry into the Minnesota National Guard during World War I. As the leader of that group, he was given the rank of captain, from which /forum/african-american-
the nickname "Cap" was derived. After retiring from the City of St. Paul in 1949, Wigington began a private architectural practice in California. He died soon after moving to Kansas City, Missouri in Circa 1928. Wigington designed this building. This site is Sep 21, 2009 03:53 PM historic- Red Leader Wrapper for 1570 W Highland Pkwy, St

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic- african-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 03:53 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for american,neighborhoods,

<p>City fathers purchased six acres in 1850 to be a public burial ground for a young but fast-growing town that already had a population of more than 2,500. It was designed as a rural garden cemetery,
a 19th Century innovation conceived as an alternative to traditional graveyards which often were crowded and aesthetically unappealing. Originally called Atlanta Graveyard or City Burial Place,
Oakland was renamed in 1872. By then it had expanded to 48 acres, mainly due to pressures of the Civil War. During the war, the City and the Confederate government added land to bury soldiers who
died in local hospitals. As fighting drew closer and engulfed Atlanta, more burial space was needed. After the war, space was added to provide a proper final resting place for soldiers who had been
hastily buried on area battlefields. By 1867 the cemetery reached its present size.</p>
<h3>African American History</h3>
<p>Oakland Cemetery includes Slave Square, an area in the original six acres where African Americans were buried from 1850 to the Civil War, and the African American Burial Ground, established in
1866 at the cemetery's east end.&nbsp; Prominent community leaders buried at Oakland include Jacob McKinley, Antoine Graves,Thomas Slater, Henry Rutherford Butler, Roderick D. Badger, Selena
Butler, Bishop Gaines, Carrie Steele Logan, Augustus Thompson, and Maynard Jackson.&nbsp; </p>
<h3>Preservation and Interpretation</h3>

<p>Circa 1932. <span>Robert Robinson Taylor&nbsp;designed this building. Taylor is by some accounts the first accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first
African American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in 1888.&nbsp;Tyler designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior to 1932, and even served as
second-in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in
1893. The new Science Hall was constructed entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in
Tuskegee students, the descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building
trades, and it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being developed at Tuskegee. He died while attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building he considered his finest
achievement.</span></p>

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect,&nbsp;completed&nbsp;this building in 1914.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and began
his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the
Holman Field Administration Building and the Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s
and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black /forum/african-american-
militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his entry into the Minnesota National Guard during World War I. As the leader of that group, he was given the rank of captain, from which historic-

<p>Circa 1963. <span style="line-height: 115%;">Architect DeWitt Sanford Dykes Sr. designed this building. Originally from Gladsden, Alabama, Dykes did not become an architect until the age of
fifty one. While he grew up working with brick masonry, racial discrimination deterred him from initially pursuing a career in architecture. As a result, he went into Christian ministry and received his
education from the Methodist church. His studies eventually led him to receiving his master&rsquo;s degree in theology from Boston University School of Theology in 1932. Once he earned his
degrees, Dykes moved to Tennessee and worked in churches in the East Tennessee Annual Conference of the Methodist Church until 1954. During his time as a pastor he also continued to work as a
brick mason and as a teacher of masonry at Austin High School. Starting in 1954, Dykes worked as an administrator for the Methodist Church until 1968 when he retired from the church and became a
registered architect in the state of Tennessee. From 1970 to 1988 he was a working architect in Knoxville, Tennessee, and designed several churches and public buildings in the area. </span></p>

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 03:53 PM places/locations/southwes Red Leader Wrapper for

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-

<p>Circa 1907. Robert Robinson Taylor&nbsp;designed this building. Taylor is by some accounts the first accredited African American Architect in the United States. Taylor became the first African
American at Massachusetts Institute of Technology when he enrolled in 1888.&nbsp;Tyler designed most of the buildings on the Tuskegee campus completed prior to 1932, and even served as second-
in-command to Tuskegee's founder and first President, Dr. Booker T. Washington. Taylor's first building on the Tuskegee University campus was the Science Hall (Thrasher Hall) completed in 1893.
The new Science Hall was constructed entirely by students, using bricks made also by students under Taylor's supervision. The project epitomized Washington's philosophy of instilling in Tuskegee
students, the descendants of former enslaved Africans, the value and dignity of physical labor and it provided an example to the world of the capabilities of African Americans in the building trades, and
it underscored the larger potential of the manual training curricula being developed at Tuskegee. He died while attending services at the Tuskegee Chapel, a building he considered his finest /forum/african-american-

<p>Circa 1940-41. Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in Selma, Alabama, Duke&rsquo;s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly escaping a lynch mob
in Alabama. Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to college Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At Phillips Exeter he served as president
of the debate team and became the first African American graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his education and he became the first African American to earn a
Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a Master of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in
1913. </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke as the first African
American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service, Duke established his own firm and
worked to improve housing for impoverished African Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he secured funds to build Chicago&rsquo;s first public
housing building. He continued his civil rights work in 1929 when he established the National Technical Association, an organization formed to encourage African Americans to enter the technical
fields. During the Great Depression, Duke became forced to close his private practice; however, he quickly found work with the U.S. Resettlement Bureau, Homestead Subsistence Division in
Washington, D.C. Shortly before his death in 1952, Charles Duke had reestablished his private practice in Chicago.</p> /forum/african-american-

<p>Circa 1940. This hospital initially served patients suffering from polio. In 1997 the space opened as the Legacy Museum at Tuskegee University. The museum came about after president Bill Clinton
issued a formal apology for the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment and offered grant initiatives for the creation of a Bioethics Center at the university. Today the museum houses a wide array of artifacts
donated to the museum from alumni.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<p>Architect Louis Fry Sr. designed this building. Fry graduated with his bachelor&rsquo;s degree from Prairie View Agricultural and Mechanical College in 1922. In 1923 Fry enrolled at Kansas State
University where he earned a bachelor of science in architectural engineering in 1927. After graduating, Fry returned to Prairie View to teach math and science. While there, he designed several
buildings for the campus. In 1929 he left the college to return to school at Kansas State University, where he earned his master&rsquo;s degree in architecture in 1930. From there, architect Albert Irvin
Cassell hired him to work on designing buildings at Howard University. He remained at Howard until 1939 when he left to teach at Tuskegee University. While there, Fry headed the architecture
department and also designed buildings for both the Tuskegee and Alabama State University campuses. In 1940 Fry left Alabama to work as the campus architect at Lincoln University in Missouri.
While at Lincoln, Fry took a sabbatical to earn his master of architecture degree at Harvard University. He graduated in 1945, making him the first African American to earn the master of architecture
degree from Harvard. After briefly returning to Lincoln, Fry received an offer to teach at Howard University. While at Howard, he continued to design buildings for Lincoln and Alabama State
University. Fry also began his own firm named Fry &amp; Welch. His Son, Louis Edwin Fry Jr., joined his firm in 1960.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect,&nbsp;completed&nbsp;this building in 1948.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and began
his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the
Holman Field Administration Building and the Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s

<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black
militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his entry into the Minnesota National Guard during World War I. As the leader of that group, he was given the rank of captain, from which /forum/african-american-

<p>J. Thomas Newsome was one of Newport News most respected black civic leaders. Newsome was raised in Sussex County. He attended Virginia Normal and Collegiate Institution (now Virginia
State University), and later Howard University's law school in 1899 as class valedictorian. Newsome began his own law practice in Newport News. In 1913, Newsome became one of the first black
lawyers to practice before the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals. Newsome was also key to the establishment of Trinity Baptist Church, Huntington High School, and the Colored Voters League of
Warwick County. He served as the editor of Newport News' black newspaper, "Newport News Star". Newsome purchased his Oak Avenue home in 1906. The house was originally the home of Dr.
William R. Granger, one of Newport News' black physicians. The home now is operated by the Newsome House Museum and Cultural Center, an organization formed to restore the house for use as a
community center and museum, focusing on the black history of Newport News and the life of J. Thomas Newsome. (African American Heritage in VA website) This site is associated with J. Thomas J. Thomas Newsome was one of Newport News most respected

found small finish carpentry work that ultimately led to larger contracts. In 1919 Plato returned to Louisville, Kentucky, where he continued to have a successful architecture career. After 1940, he
increasingly received larger contracts from the federal government, including designing Post Offices. </p>

<p>Circa 1916. Architect Charles Duke designed this site. Born into a wealthy family in Selma, Alabama, Duke&rsquo;s family moved to Pine Bluff, Arkansas, after narrowly escaping a lynch mob in
Alabama. Once in Arkansas, he completed high school and went to college Branch Normal College. He also attended Howard University and Phillips Exeter. At Phillips Exeter he served as president of
the debate team and became the first African American graduate when he received his degree in 1901. Duke constantly continued his education and he became the first African American to earn a
Bachelor of Arts degree in mathematics from Harvard University and also became the first African American to earn a Master of Science degree in civil engineering from the University of Wisconsin in
1913. </p>
<p>In 1908 Duke began working as a foreman engineer for the Chicago Northwestern Railroad. In the August of 1913 the City of Chicago Department of Public Works hired Duke as the first African
American engineer draftsman. His architecture career took a pause when he enlisted in the National Guard in 1916 and travelled to Mexico. After his military service, Duke established his own firm and
worked to improve housing for impoverished African Americans. His efforts led to an appointment with the Chicago Zoning Commission where he secured funds to build Chicago&rsquo;s first public
housing building. He continued his civil rights work in 1929 when he established the National Technical Association, an organization formed to encourage African Americans to enter the technical
fields. During the Great Depression, Duke became forced to close his private practice; however, he quickly found work with the U.S. Resettlement Bureau, Homestead Subsistence Division in
Washington, D.C. Shortly before his death in 1952, Charles Duke had reestablished his private practice in Chicago.</p> /forum/african-american-

<p>In 1820, Hannah Jackson bought a house and lot from Quaker, Mordecai Miller, for 5 shillings and regular ground rent, at what was to become known as 406-408 South Royal Street. She is one of
the earliest known African-Americans to own property in Alexandria; this property was located in the heart of one of the earliest free black neighborhoods, Hayti. Although employed as a
washerwoman, Ms. Jackson was able to buy her son, grandchildren, sister and nieces and nephews from their respective owners. She emancipated all of them shortly thereafter. In her will, she left her
property and dwellings to the remainder of her family. Another interesting facet of this history is found in the will of William Hepburn, a prosperous Alexandria businessman, who died in 1817. The

<p>Clarence W. Wigington, a significant African American architect,&nbsp;completed&nbsp;this building in 1958.</p>
<p>In 1910, the U.S. Census listed Clarence Wesley Wigington as one of only 59 African-American architects, artists and draftsmen in the country. He attended school in Omaha, Nebraska and began
his architectural career working for Thomas Kimball, who was president of the American Institute of Architects. While in Omaha, Wigington designed the Broomfield Rowhouse, Zion Baptist Church,
and the second St. John's African Methodist Episcopal Church building, along with several other single and multiple family dwellings. </p>
<p>It was in Saint Paul, Minnesota where Wigington created a national reputation. He moved there in 1914 and by 1917 was promoted to the position of senior architectural designer for the City of St.
Paul. During the 1920s and 30s, Wigington designed schools, clubhouses, fire stations, park buildings, and airports for the city. His most significant projects include the Highland Park Tower, the
Holman Field Administration Building and the Harriet Island Pavilion, and the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. Wigington also designed monumental ice castles for the St. Paul Winter Carnival in the 1930s
and 40s. </p>
<p>Wigington was among the 13 founders of the Sterling Club, a social club for railroad porters, bellboys, waiters, drivers and other black men. He founded the Home Guards of Minnesota, an all-black
militia established in 1918 when racial segregation prohibited his entry into the Minnesota National Guard during World War I. As the leader of that group, he was given the rank of captain, from which /forum/african-american-
the nickname "Cap" was derived. After retiring from the City of St. Paul in 1949, Wigington began a private architectural practice in California. He died soon after moving to Kansas City, Missouri in Sep 21, 2009 03:54 PM historic- Red Leader Wrapper for 1592 Western Ave N, St

twentieth century. The project began in Alabama when Washington used money donated to Tuskegee University from Rosenwald to construct six schools for African Americans. From here, the project
expanded and in 1917 Rosenwald established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to provide consistent financial support for the school program. By 1928, Rosenwald schools served one third of the
South&rsquo;s African American schoolchildren and teachers. Schools continued to be built until 1932, when Julius Rosenwald died and funding for the program discontinued. By this time, the program
had produced 4,977 new schools, 217 teachers' homes, and 163 shop buildings, constructed at a total cost of $28,408,520 to serve 663,615 students in 883 counties of 15 states. Despite the conclusion of
the program, many Rosenwald schools continued operating into the 1950s. </p>
<h3>Significant People</h3>
<p>Renowned educator, Booker T. Washington, played a direct role in the development of the Julius Rosenwald Fund. Born into slavery, after emancipation Washington moved to West Virginia and
began working in a salt furnace and coal mine until he could afford to attend the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in Virginia. His life experiences instilled the belief that work ethic and
education would play a crucial role in improving the place of African Americans in society. In the early twentieth century, Washington became known for espousing his belief that African Americans
should further their position in society through vocational education. In contrast to leaders such as W.E.B. DuBois, Washington believed that African Americans should focus more on self help and not
confront issues such as segregation or the disenfranchisement of black voters. In response to his beliefs, Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) in
Tuskegee, Alabama. This school provided vocational training for African Americans throughout the South and received funding from black and white philanthropists. In addition to college-level
education, Washington also hoped to make elementary education available to African American children throughout the rural South. In order to achieve this goal, Washington turned to the
philanthropists of Tuskegee University to secure the necessary funds to build schoolhouses and implement a vocational curriculum.</p>
<p>Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck and Company from 1908 to 1924, provided the critical funding needed for Washington&rsquo;s rural school project. In 1912 Rosenwald donated
$25,000 to the Tuskegee Institute. A portion of this money became used to build the first six schools in Washington&rsquo;s rural school program. After seeing the success of the schools, Rosenwald
established the Julius Rosenwald Fund to further the program. He hoped that the expansion of Rosenwald schools would put pressure on Southern states to create decent public schools for African
American children. In addition to his work with Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald generously donated to a variety of other causes throughout his life including public education, museums, and Jewish
charities. While an active philanthropist, Rosenwald also proved to be a shrewd businessman while working for Sears, Roebuck, and Company. He became a partner for the company in 1895 and
worked his way up to the position of vice president within one year. Rosenwald&rsquo;s commitment to customer service and rational management philosophy ultimately led him to becoming president
of the company in 1908. While president, he donated over 21 million dollars of his personal fortune to the company when Sears almost reached bankruptcy after World War I, and by 1922 the company
had regained financial stability. </p>
<h3>Preservation</h3>
<p>As desegregation efforts grew in the 1950s, Rosenwald schools rapidly closed. From the 1950s through the early 2000s many of these abandoned schoolhouses were largely neglected or demolished.
As a result of the disappearance of these schools, grassroots activists and the National Trust for Historic Preservation have worked to identify and preserve these important sites. In 2002 the National
Trust helped raise awareness about these sites by placing Rosenwald schools on their 11 Most Endangered Places list. Since 2005, Lowe&rsquo;s has also partnered with the National Trust and /forum/african-american-
contributed over 1 million dollars to help in the restoration of these sites as well as other historically significant sites across the nation. Their funding has allowed the Trust to provide grants to local historic-
organizations working to preserve and restore Rosenwald schools. The work of local preservationists, the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and Lowe&rsquo;s &nbsp;has helped to prevent the Sep 21, 2009 03:54 PM places/locations/southern Red Leader Wrapper for

<p>The Battle of Jenkins' Ferry was fought April 30, 1864, in Grant County, Arkansas as part of the Camden Expedition of the American Civil War. The Battle of Jenkins' Ferry was a Union victory,
because the Federals successfully held back the attacking Confederates and allowed their wagons time to cross the Saline. Kirby Smith's last, best hope to destroy Steele's army was dashed as a result of
the badly mismanaged and disjointed attacks, in which the Confederate infantry was pushed in piecemeal instead of in a concentrated attack. The Confederates failed to capitalize on the Union's /forum/african-american-
vulnerable left flank, choosing instead to pursue frontal assaults across Kelly's field, where the Southern line was devastated by Union fire. Steele gave up all thoughts of uniting with Maj. Gen. historic-
Nathaniel Banks on the Red River and realized that he had to save his army. The battleground, preserved as Jenkins' Ferry State Park, is one of the Camden Expedition Sites that together were declared a Sep 21, 2009 03:54 PM places/locations/southwes Red Leader Wrapper for
