Abstract:

The Coinjock Colored School in Barco, NC is one of about 800 Rosenwald Schools that were built in North Carolina. The school was recently moved to a new location and will be renovated as a shop and a museum. This will allow the school and stories from former students like Lorraine Perry to be preserved. The history of the school, the Rosenwald Schools, and life as a African American student in the segregated South are told.
