Scope and content:

The images in this subseries document school buildings in Warsaw and Eminence, Kentucky. Of Warsaw, Hoskins writes: "We had driven into Warsaw as Pastor Travis was from the area and we were exploring. I happen to see an African American man and got out of the car and asked him if her knew of any old black schools. He told me how to get to the Warsaw school which was where he went. He gave me directions which led me to this school.Itl is not listed in any records I have found but I am sure it is correct because of how it looks." Of Eminence, she writes: "Emma and I drove down a dead end road and saw this older African American lady and her son on their front porch. Over the years I have learned if you can find someone of a certain age who is black they will know about the schools. That is why I asked them. She said there was an old black school and offered to show us. They got off their front porch and into a car and said to follow them which we did. It wasn't far but is was passed a closed and posted no trespassing sign and dilapidated building. Then through an opening of some trees. It was by no means a road. I began to wonder what we were doing. We got out and there didn't seem to be anyone home. We were greeted by many No Trespassing Signs and dog warnings. I took a quick photo. The mother and son were very kind and they told us we should really be careful and not so trusting of people. Which was funny as it was crazy where we had just followed them to. They worried about us and asked if we wanted them to take us back to the highway. We thanked them and headed on our way. Pretty sure this is a school and it was indeed an adventure. It is hard to tell by this photo but there was one in Eminence, Kentucky Henry County which is where this was and it is listed on this street. However you won't know it was a street anymore because it is actually behind the street and through the trees."
