53 - Washington School: Then and Now – Dr. Laura Arata

Booker T. Washington School in Stillwater, Oklahoma has sat vacant for years. Several OSU departments are now collaborating to preserve and improve one of the few remaining, formerly segregated school buildings in the state of Oklahoma while offering a great opportunity for students to learn. Thanks to a donation from a *secret* donor, the history of the Washington School will remain in the Stillwater community for years to come.

On this episode of the Pokes PodCAS, OSU history professor and director of public history, Dr. Laura Arata, explains the deep history and plans for the future of the Washington School. Images of the school are available at this link.
