Built in 1921-22, it was the ninth
school in Ky. for African Americans
supported by the Julius Rosenwald
Grant. After completing the first 8
years of school, students were
bussed 25 miles to the Lincoln
Institute in Shelby Co. to attend
high school. This ended after the
1964 Civil Rights Act integrated
Kentucky schools.

Resenwald Schools. Site of one of the 158 Rosenwald
Schools constructed in Kentucky
between 1917 & 1932. The one-room
schoolhouse provided an education

Booker T. Washington's vision for
educational reform & his partnership
with philanthropist Julius Rosenwald.
