Martha Barringer, at 100 Years Old, Remembers the Siloam School

Martha Barringer, the only living alumni of the Siloam School, speaks on her experience attending school. This is the only interview with Martha inside of the school that she attended over 80 years ago. She is joined by her daughter, Maxine Barringer. The Siloam School was a Rosenwald-type school constructed in the Mallard Creek community in Charlotte in the early 1920s. Like all Rosenwald schools, it was groundbreaking for its modern, high-quality construction and its mission to education Black students in the rural South. The building was a school for about 20 years, then was converted into a family home and then into an auto garage for the same family. From 2023-2024, the Charlotte Museum of history moved and restored the building to be the only Rosenwald School in the county open to the public as a historic site. To see the Siloam School and learn more about the history of Rosenwald Schools in Charlotte, visit Charlotte Museum of History: charlottemuseum.org. We recommend using subtitles for this interview.
