Rosenwald schools were a network of educational institutions built in the early 20th century primarily for African American children in the rural South, funded by philanthropist Julius Rosenwald in partnership with the African American communities and local governments. Established between 1912 and 1932, these schools aimed to provide better educational opportunities during a time of widespread segregation and limited resources. The schools were often constructed with specific design features to ensure adequate sunlight and ventilation, reflecting a commitment to improving educational standards. By the time the program ended, over 5,000 Rosenwald schools had been built, significantly impacting African American education and community development.
