Maddy summaryThis bill is a ceremonial resolution (H 5225) that declares February 28, 2026, as "Rosenwald School Day" in South Carolina. It honors the historical significance of Rosenwald Schools - built between 1912 and 1923 with funds from Julius Rosenwald and Booker T. Washington - to provide education for African American students across the Southeast. The resolution recognizes that 486 Rosenwald Schools were built in South Carolina, serving as both educational and community spaces, though most have since fallen into disrepair. As a symbolic measure, it does not create new programs or allocate funding, but aims to acknowledge this cultural heritage.
