Sharing the Past / Shaping the Future

The National Trust for Historic Preservation along with a team of local partners are proud to present the 2015 National Rosenwald Schools Conference: Sharing the Past→Shaping the Future in Durham, North Carolina. Once home to the largest number of Rosenwald Schools, North Carolina is rich with Rosenwald School restoration and rehabilitation activities.  Durham and the surrounding area will serve as a living laboratory through field tours to the many Rosenwald Schools and historic sites in the area, classroom sessions, oral history archiving, documentaries, hands-on preservation workshops, and informative local tours and activities that will foster documentation and preservation of Rosenwald Schools, and help shape a vision for their future.
