Summary

Like many other cities and towns in the United States, Brunswick had a segregated school for black elementary school students before the Supreme Court ordered the integration of public schools in 1954. In the late 19th century, classes were reportedly held in a corn crib on the Wenner farm. Later, this house at 37 West I St. was rented to accommodate 41 students. A record from May 7th, 1901, described the house as a "frame house in tolerable condition".
