- With the organizing of the predominately Negro communities with established churches, it was natural that they would seek to establish schools for learning. In the development of Negro schools, the Julius Rosenwald Foundation aided in the construction of school buildings, shops and teachers' cottages in the County.
- Table II, page 23, gives the amount of aid received from the Julius Rosenwald Fund for the construction of Negro schools in Columbia County, Arkansas. Additional information concerning the distribution of the Negro communities and the name and number of the Negro school districts is found in Figure 1, Table III, and Figure 2, pages 24, 25,and 26, respectively.
