Pocahontas School-Pocahontas, Tennessee

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.
