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.

In “Schools for the Colored,” White documents the remnants of segregated schools and challenges viewers to confront the legacies of racial segregation. His photographs serve as a testament to the resilience of the African American community and are a reminder of the barriers that have been overcome and of those that still exist. Over seven decades since the landmark ruling of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), White's work prompts us to reflect on the monumental journey that still lies ahead.
