Senate Rosenwald Schools Study Committee; create
This resolution creates a Senate committee to study the history and impact of Rosenwald schools in Georgia. The committee will examine how these schools, built in the early 1900s for Black students in rural areas, affected education and economic opportunities for African Americans. The committee must complete its work and submit a report by December 1, 2025, focusing on the schools' legacy and potential lessons for today. This is a procedural resolution establishing a study group, not a law changing policies.
