Abstract	Built in the early 1900s for African-American children, "Rosenwald Schools" are disappearing from the landscape. This article discusses preservation efforts of some of the more than 5,300 Rosenwald schools and other buildings that were built from 1913 to 1932, in rural areas of 15 states. The idea for the schools was conceived by the black educator and author Booker T. Washington and financed by Julius Rosenwald, the president of Sears, and Roebuck, and Co., the Chicago-based mail-order giant and department store chain. Rosenwald set up a program that offered state-of-the-art facility plans designed by architects from Tuskegee Institute and funding for grants that were matched by local communities. The schools served black students who were shut out of regular public schools in the era of Jim Crow, or who attended classes in decrepit structures--if at all. (ERIC).
