Historical Notes
The
Dunbar
Rosenwald
School
was
built
circa
1923
, with
support
from the
Julius
Rosenwald
Fund's
School
Building
Program
.
It
is
significantly
associated
with
African
American
elementary
public
school
education
from the
1920s
to the
Civil
Rights
Movement
, and was the
county
seat's
only
African
American
public
school
.
It
is
also an
example
of the
adaptation
of
Rosenwald
standardized
plans
to the
perceived
aesthetic
needs
and
wants
of a
rural
community
.
Two
teachers
and a
principal
worked
at
Dunbar
,
covering
kindergarten
through
eighth
grade
. The
school
became
a
place
for
community
events
throughout
the
year
.
