Mr. James DeWitt Dickerson, a graduate of Morehouse College
in Atlanta, Georgia, came to Vidalia, Georgia to teach in
the black school September 1904.

Professor Dickerson was instrumental in securing the support
of the Vidalia black and white communities to build an
adequate building for black children which encouraged the
Julius Rosenwald Fund to aid in the construction of a two
story school building on Third Avenue for black children in
1918-1919. This structure had two large classrooms on each
floor, a small industrial room and an office. It was used
until 1937 when it was moved across Third Avenue to make
room for a new school building.
