Run-down, Renovated or Revamped
Out of nearly 5,000 Rosenwald Schools that were built from 1913-1932, very few remain. Over the years, schools have become abandoned, neglected or are no longer useful to the community. The National Trust for Historic Preservation placed the schools on the 11 Most Endagnered Historic Places list in 2002. The Rosenwald Schools Initiative was created at that time to raise awareness. This audio slideshows captures the current state that many Rosenwald schools are in: run-down, renovated or revamped.
