The Cape Charles Rosenwald School Restoration Initiative conducted an oral history project in 2013 entitled “Voices from Over the Hump – An Oral History of the Cape Charles Elementary School – A Rosenwald School.” The project captured the history of the Cape Charles Elementary School, also known as the Cape Charles Colored School by chronicling the experiences of the alumni and faculty. Students from ODU conducted and transcribed the interviews which are available to the public at the Heritage Center both online and in audio format for borrow.
