Description
Photograph of the interior of a Rosenwald school in Paulding County, Georgia. Several long tables with round seats sit vertically in the long schoolroom. The walls are painted tan. Both sections of the room have ceiling fans. This school reflects some of the standard design elements, including wooden floors and tall double-hung windows, specified by Community School Plans, published by the Julius Rosenwald Fund in the 1920s. Between 1912 and 1932, contributions from the Rosenwald Fund helped to build 4,977 new schools for African Americans in fifteen southern states.
