It took a strong team with the right tools. Led by educator, scientist, founder of Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington and Julius Rosenwald, President and key entrepreneur in the growth of Sears-Roebuck, the Rosenwald Fund was established. It was a remarkable philanthropic partnership that helped construct over 800 Black schools across North Carolina during the 1910s -1930s providing seed grants and state-of-the-art architectural plans. Local Black communities more than matched those grants. Nearly a dozen schools were constructed around New Bern in Pamlico and Craven counties  
Come learn about this nearly lost chapter of our history on Sunday February 22 at 2pm at Orringer Auditorium at Craven Community College in New Bern.  Dr. Tom Hanchett will present “The History of Rosenwald Schools in North Carolina and Craven County”.
