Groups Attempting To Restore Historic Elkins School
WEST VIRGINIA....
Two community groups, Riverside School Association and Youth Empowered Solutions have raised $100,000 to restore the Riverside School in Elkins which was built more than a hundred years ago. They say another $400,000 is needed to stabilize the deteriorating facility that served African-American and some American Indian students until segregation was ruled illegal in the 1950s.
