Pocahontas School in Hardeman County, Tennessee, is a four-teacher type school. Built in 1924 using Rosenwald funds, the school educated Black schoolchildren until the late 1960s. Despite the passing of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, schools in Hardeman County did not desegregate until more than ten years later.
The school was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
This is right in my back yard. The school’s proximity to the Davis Bridge Battlefield has played a small role in its preservation. There was some talk a few years ago about restoring it as an interpretive center, but I’m not sure how that turned out. It’s still in fair condition.
