　　The Harrington School is an old one-room schoolhouse in Georgia. The building has not been used in years. Community leaders and even the local historical society thought it wasn’t worth saving. “Just look at it and you could tell it was going to fall any minute, so let’s tear it down, ” they said.

　　The Harrington School was built in nineteen twenty-five for black children on St. Simons Island. Amy Roberts well remembers she attended first grade there in nineteen fifty-three. That was a year before the United States Supreme Court ruled that schools had to be racially integrated. A number of states kept blacks from attending school with whites. After the ruling, the children joined white students at St. Simons’ other elementary school.

　　The old schoolhouse continued to be used for social activities and a day care center. By nineteen seventy, however, it stood empty. Amy Roberts worried that developers might tear it down. So she started the African-American Heritage Coalition to try to save it.

　　“If it’s not saved, then eventually you would not know that we existed here on St. Simons. Everything of African-American heritage has been torn down. ” She said.

　　In two thousand nine the Harrington School was weeks away from destruction. Then a local historian named Patty Deveau took a closer look and started a movement called the Rosenwald Fund. Georgia historian Jeanne Cyriaque explains. “At the very core of that movement was the involvement of the community, sympathetic whites and philanthropy, merging together to do what today we’d call partnerships. ”
