He was a noted philanthropist, particularly focused on educating children. He donated thousands of dollars to poor children to be educated, to Tuskegee University, and donated the 7.5-acre campus for the elementary school which was named after him.
      Martin Luther King Jr. attended the school from 1936 until 1940.
      The school building is brick. It closed in 1976.
