Wendel A. White's photographic project, “Schools for the Colored,” delves into the legacy of racial segregation in America’s educational system. The series is an extension of White's earlier work, “Small Towns, Black Lives,” and continues his exploration of the African American landscape. Through his lens, White captures the architectural remnants of segregated schools that are scattered across the Northern “free” states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois.

Through his lens, White captures the architectural remnants of segregated schools that are scattered across the Northern “free” states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. These schoolhouses, located on the boundary between the North and the South, represent an unresolved past for White and remain “one of the enduring spaces for the definition of race and class identity in the American landscape.”
