The Acworth Rosenwald School was originally located on School Street but when Cobb County planned to demolish it in the late 1940s, the community came together and moved it to its present location on Cherokee Street and rebuilt it board by board. It served as a gathering place for Acworth’s Black community, but went through periods of disuse over the years. Due to the efforts of Cobb Landmarks, it has been preserved and is now owned by the city of Acworth. It continues to serve the community.
My long-retired former mail man in Cobb County, Charles Watts got to talking about his history once. He told me that he grew up in the same neighborhood as NBA great Walt Frazier. He said he played ball with him. He mentioned going to Howard High, but was sent to live with his grandparents in Acworth at some point to keep him out of trouble. He told me about how the Rosenwald school was saved by the community. He also told me about a Lake Allatoona beach that they picnicked at that was for blacks only.
