在两次世界大战之间，南方出生的男性受教育程度的黑人和白人差距急剧缩小。从1914年到1931年，作为罗森瓦尔德农村学校倡议的一部分，建造了近5,000所学校。使用人口普查数据和第二次世界大战的记录，我们发现，罗森瓦尔德计划占相当大的一部分，农村南部黑人的教育收益。我们发现在学校出勤率，识字率，受教育年限，认知测试成绩，和北方迁移显着的影响。在处境最不利的县，收益最高，这表明学校教育待遇对受教育机会有限的人的影响最大。
The black-white gap in schooling among southern-born men narrowed sharply between the world wars. From 1914 to 1931, nearly 5,000 schools were constructed as part of the Rosenwald Rural Schools Initiative. Using census data and World War II records, we find that the Rosenwald program accounts for a sizable portion of the educational gains of rural southern blacks. We find significant effects on school attendance, literacy, years of schooling, cognitive test scores, and northern migration. The gains are highest in the most disadvantaged counties, suggesting that schooling treatments have the largest impact among those with limited access to education.
