caption_attribution_description: English: The Free Hills Community Center, formerly the Free Hills Rosenwald School in Free Hill, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States. The school was built in the 1920s with help from the Julias Rosenwald Fund, which provided funds to build schools for African-Americans. Free Hill is a rural community in the hills north of Celina, Tennessee, formed by freed slaves sometime in the 1830s or 1840s. The school operated until schools in the southeastern U.S. were desegregated in the 1960s.
