Jonesboro Rosenwald School Museum

Jonesboro Rosenwald School Museum is a preserved historic school building in Jonesboro, Georgia, that now serves as a museum dedicated to the African American educational experience during segregation. Originally constructed in 1931, the site was part of the Rosenwald School program—a partnership between philanthropist Julius Rosenwald and educator Booker T. Washington that supported the construction of thousands of schools for African American students across the rural South. The museum highlights the determination of local communities to provide quality education despite inequities under segregation and celebrates the legacy of students, teachers, and families who helped shape this important chapter in American history.

*Clayton County Public Schools currently manages the Jonesboro Rosenwald Museum.
