Event Description

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT!!! Please join us for the next installment of the Warwick Lecture Series coming up next month! This is part of the Warwick Lecture Series hosted by The Heritage Foundation of Williamson County.

Come hear Benjamin Nance from the Tennessee Division of Archaeology speak about the archaeological site survey of Tennessee’s Rosenwald Schools. These schools for African-American students were built between 1912 and 1932 and partly funded by the Julius Rosenwald Fund.

This program helped construct 354 schools, 9 teachers’ homes, and 10 industrial shops in Tennessee. Researchers were able to locate most of these sites, assess their archaeological integrity, and add them to the statewide archaeological database maintained by the Division of Archaeology.The event is FULL.
