24, 2026) - South Carolina Legislature Online South Carolina General Assembly126th Session, 2025-2026Bill 5225Indicates Matter StrickenIndicates New Matter(Text matches printed bills.
Document has been reformatted to meet World Wide Web specifications.) A house RESOLUTION TO DECLARE FEBRUARY 28, 2026, AS "ROSENWALD SCHOOL DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, a challenge grant fund established by Julius Rosenwald and Booker T.
Washington ran from to 1923 to build schools for African American students across the Southeast, with the resulting schools known as Rosenwald Schools;
and Whereas, four hundred eighty-six Rosenwald Schools were built in South Carolina, at least one in every county, and over one third of African American students in the South attended a Rosenwald School in the first half of the twentieth century;
and Whereas, African American communities in South Carolina matched Rosenwald Fund donations with money raised by the community and with land they owned to ensure education for their children;
and Whereas, Rosenwald Schools also served as community meeting spaces and were an important gathering space for the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina;
and Whereas, despite the integral role Rosenwald Schools played in African American education and the Civil Rights Movement, most buildings have fallen into disrepair or have been demolished, their land and stories lost with them;
and Whereas, the remaining Rosenwald School buildings and school sites are invaluable cultural resources that should be protected, restored, and interpreted.
Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, declare February 28, 2026, as "Rosenwald School Day" in South Carolina.
