Pryor School - Chester, SC

Description

Built in 1898, the Pryor School was a schoolhouse for African-American students in the community that was supported by a church of the same name that no longer stands. The school itself operated between 1898 until 1956, a few years after the US Supreme Court decision Brown vs Board of Education of Topeka that ended Jim Crow Era segregation of schools in the United States.

UPDATE: After several unsuccessful attempts to raise funding for relocation, the Pryor Colored School was demolished in 2018.
