Scrabble School was the segregated school for county African-American students in grades 1 through 7 from 1922 to 1967. It was built with funds raised from the parents of students, some from local white donors and seed money from the Julius Rosenwald Society. The Rosenwald Society helped • build schools for AfricanAmericans throughout the South in the early decades of the twentieth century.
Scrabble alumna Molly Jackson-Slaughter recalled her class motto was “they can who think they can.” In keeping with that tradition, the Scrabble School Preservation Foundation hopes to rehabilitate the building, and with it the history and legacy of its students, and a new use that will benefit the county community.
