Julius Rosenwald was a businessman. In nineteen fifteen he donated money to black communities to build their own schools. By the late twenties, the Rosenwald Fund had donated to more than five thousand educational buildings in fifteen states across the South. One-third of rural black children were attending a Rosenwald school.

　　“This particular school kind of embodies to me what was going on with the communities at the time, because in many African-American communities, it was African-American families that gave land for these schools to be built. ” Jeanne Cyriaque said.

　　Now, preservation architects are developing plans to restore the Harrington School. Amy Roberts and others were surprised by what the experts found when they inspected the structure. “They went through it and they talked about how sound it was and they’d never seen anything like this. I mean, it was, like, in great shape! ”
