The Hopewell School (Bastrop County, Texas, 1922-1959) was a Rosenwald school, one of 4978 built for African American children across 15 states from 1912-37. Inside Hopewell stand Elroy & Sophia Williams holding a nineteenth century portrait of Sophia’s grandparents. The grandparents, former slaves, acquired and then donated land for the school. Both Sophia and Elroy attended Rosenwald schools; both became educators in Bastrop County.
