Woodlawn School ninth graders Quinn Schneider and Jake Johnson won first place in the state-level National History Day Competition in May for this documentary on the Rosenwald Schools, a group of more than 5,000 schools for African-Americans funded by Sears & Roebuck president Julius Rosenwald in the early 20th century.

Read about them here.

Quinn has graciously given permission for the Stanly County Museum to play their video inside the museum during this exhibit.
