Madam C.J. Walker School Gets Historic Recognition

A historic Kansas school once attended by Madam C.J. Walker students just earned national recognition—added to the National Register of Historic Places—opening the door to critical funding for its restoration. Built in 1888, the school was forced into segregation when a new school opened in 1947, sparking a landmark 1949 Kansas Supreme Court ruling that helped pave the way for Brown v. Board. Now, community leaders like Tony Adams are rallying to preserve this vital piece of civil rights history, seeing the designation as a turning point to restore the building and honor its legacy for future generations.
