Join us for the Ridgely Rosenwald School’s annual Black History Month celebration, which includes the recognition of the alumni of Ridgely Rosenwald School. The school opened in 1927 as Colored School No. 1 in Election District 13, one of 27 schools in Prince George’s County built with financial assistance from the Julius Rosenwald Fund, which provided money to build nearly 5,000 schools for African Americans in the South during the early 20th century.
