I am trying to get it listed in the Alabama Historical Commission Register but I am going through the tedious (and fun) part of trying to prove it IS in fact a Rosenwald. <br /> <br />It was moved from its former location in Walker County to the Alabama Mining Museum campus in Dora, AL--only about 3 or 4 miles from where it was. It is listed in rosenwald.fisk.edu/index, but there is no picture. I have plenty of current photos that I have taken, but only one from before it was relocated, and I have looked high and low.<br /><br />I had never heard of Rosenwald Schools until I began my present job, and one of my projects is to help draw attention to the area's history and culture. If you are ever in Walker County, please check out the Wyatt School at the Alabama Mining Museum. <br /><br />And your blog post is a good read--so glad I came across it!

Thank you very much for sharing these links....WOW! Thank you very much for sharing these links. My parents went to Rosenwald Schools in Jefferson County, Arkansas. They would often speak about their schools. I never thought I would get to see a picture of the schools since they are torn down now. The vintage pictures and historical informaiton is just GREAT. So glad to have your website to help us trace our vanishing family history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124937133380979208.post-63916860010388078932012-06-21T19:55:20.566-04:002012-06-21T19:55:20.566-04:00Thanks Lovie!
