New York City Landmarks Segregated-Era Schoolhouse, Allocates Millions for Repairs

New York City designated a historic ''colored'' schoolhouse a protected landmark.
The school was built in 1849 and served Black students during racial segregation.
The city will provide $6 million to rehabilitate the dilapidated building.
A historian urged the city for years to landmark the school and fund its restoration.
The building is the last known segregated school still standing in Manhattan.
