Summary
Prior to the Brown vs. Board of Education decision by the Supreme Court to integrate public schools in 1954, Brunswick's African American students attended segregated classes on Wenner's Hill.
The first segregated classes were held in a corn crib on the Wenner farm and later, a house was rented on 37 West I Street for 41 students. After 1905, this one-room brick schoolhouse was erected on 40 West J Street. It remained in operation until desegregation.

Joan Hardy Morris: I attended first through third grades in this building (1942-44). Miss Ruth Timmons was our teacher. She was married later & became Mrs. Grayson.
