Description
From 1917 to 1932, the Rosenwald Fund contributed to the building of approximately 5,000 schools for African American children in Southern states. The Rosenwald program provided state-of-the-art school plans along with partial funding. Communities were required to provide cash or in kind contributions; the remainder of the school costs was borne by local school boards. Lakeland had two such schools. Lakeland Elementary, shown in the photo, was built in 1925 and Lakeland High School was built in 1928. Lakeland joined neighboring communities in Bladensburg, North Brentwood, Ammendale, Muirkirk, and Laurel to request that the school board approve construction of a high school for African Americans. Lakeland was selected as the site for the new high school because
of its central location and the availability of train transportation. (Courtesy of Fisk University Franklin Library Special Collections)
