Dec. 6—City Councilors unanimously voted Monday evening to approve the purchase of Stillwater's historic Black school. The goal is to preserve the original building so community members can improve the property to be used for education, historical displays, sports recreation, events and parking. Originally built in 1908, Booker T. Washington School is one of three remaining Black schools in Oklahoma and the only one with the potential to be preserved, according to Preservation Oklahoma's 2022 Most Endangered Places list.
