One image of 5 men of bicycles reads "From USS Alabama"; the Alabama was commissioned in 1942 and was an important battleship in the Pacific Theater in WWII. When the United States entered World War II in December 1941 the Navy's African-American sailors had been limited to serving as Mess Attendants for nearly two decades. However the pressures of wartime on manpower resources gradually forced changes; while the Navy remained racially segregated in training and in most service units in 1942 the enlisted rates were opened to all qualified personnel. In 1944 further strides were made when the Navy commissioned the first ever African-Americans officers. Tougaloo College is one of the United States' premier historically black colleges and universities HBCU in the nation. The school was founded in 1869. from 1871 until 1892 the college served as a teachers' training school funded by the state of Mississippi. Tougaloo remained predominantly a teacher training school until 1920 when the College ceased to receive aid from the state. Courses for college credit were first offered in 1897 and the first Bachelor of Arts degree was awarded in 1901. Some wear to outer hinges of album binder loose but holding.

15405African-American Education Pair of photographs depicting the first Catholic elementary school that educated girls of color both free and enslaved which was located at the oldest black parish in the United States St. Augustine's Catholic Church. Circa 1840. Albumen photographs 7" x 5" inches one mounted on board and the other unmounted. The unmounted photo is captioned in cursive at the bottom edge "Catholic School Manderville La". Both photographs show African American nuns assembled with male and female students in front of the school. Religious instruction was one of the few accessible paths to an education for African-Americans in the mid-19th century. At a time when literacy was considered a dangerous advantage the Catholic School at Manderville is notable not just for educating children of color but including girls among that calculus as well as children of both the freed and the enslaved. The property on which the Catholic School of Saint Augustine Church stood was originally part of a plantation owned by Claude Treme who subdivided his estate and sold off large tracts to free blacks and others on a first-come first-serve basis; the school itself was likely founded by Henriette Delille a free woman of color and Juliette Gaudin a Cuban worshippers at St. Augustine's Church who devoted their lives to aiding slaves orphan girls the uneducated and the sick and elderly among people of color. Their particular concern for the education and care of black children aided greatly in the founding the city's early private school for the colored. <br/><br/>Widespread illiteracy among Afrcan-Americans was a cornerstone of white supremacy in the South. The objections to slave literacy were threefold: 1 Slaves did not have the mental capacity for education and would only become confused; 2 Slaves might learn to forge passes to non-slave states; and 3 Insurrection and rebellion might result from slaves reading abolitionist writings. Literacy was so loaded in fact that the new restrictions resulting from Nat Turner's 1842 slave revolt-- only two years after the Manderville Catholic School photographed here was started-- included anti-literacy laws and punishments for slaves who tried to learn to read and write. Yet many African-Americans both free and enslaved found ways around such laws to satisfy their hunger for learning. The main antebellum resource for teaching literacy was the Bible which some whites permitted because they believed the Bible would teach African-Americans about their "divine" role as servants. With the Second Great Awakening which lasted through the 1840s the opportunity for African-Americans to receive an education was greatly expanded by the religious notion that all men and women from every race were in need of salvation and that all redeemed individuals were to be "useful" in God's kingdom; thus clearing the way to a new path for literacy and education among African-Americans through the lens of religious teaching. unknown books
17130African American Education Archive of 4 photographs of racially integrated classrooms 1964-1969. Original silver gelatin print photographs various sizes from 7 x 9" to 7.5 x 11". Images show racially integrated classrooms and schools across the country in Cincinnati Ohio; Harlem New York; and Portland OR. Images from 1964 1965 1967 1969. Two of the photographs show children at study in their classrooms. In the most candid image from Evanston School 1964 8 African American students and 1 white classmate sit and quietly read books at their desks. The 1967 image from Epiphany School in Harlem New York City again shows children in a classroom they all hold Encyclopedias and smile directly into the camera. There is a greater mix in racial makeup of this classroom and the students look at ease with one another. The third photo is a 1965 class portrait of 33 girls and their teacher; 19 of the students are African-American girls. More than any of the earlier class pictures these girls are the most racially balanced and integrated. African American students make up just over half of the class and the girls are posed with Black and White students together in each row. The final photograph from 1969 shows 23 smiling middle school students walk together arm-in-arm at West Sylvan Middle School in Portland OR.

17126African American Education Integrated multiracial grade school. c. 1890s-1910. Original silver gelatin print photograph. Mounted on board 8 x 10 in. Photograph dimensions: 6.75 x 8.75 in. Handwritten in blue ink on verso: "Grade School - St Joseph Mo. / Nina Case - Mother of Ninita P. Johnson & Harry E. Potter Jr." 44 students lined up in three rows with female teacher standing behind the last row. 12 of the students appear to be African-American children. Interestingly there is a large age range in the photograph as the youngest students' feet dangle off the ground while the oldest students appear to be several years older. This photograph comes from a rural school as one student in the front row has attended class that day barefoot. In the 19th century more women than ever before were entering the workforce as teachers; for rural teachers such as the one photographed here conditions could be challenging with as many as 60 students in one classroom and limited resources and support. Still women flocked to teaching as it offered independence and sense of purpose outside. Working in education gave many women a window onto a wider world of ideas politics and public usefulness. Mat condition: Light soiling; small losses to all four corners of mat; 1/4 in closed tear in left top edge of mat. Photograph condition: lightly toned; 1 annotation on front of photograph above student's head "X Nina Case"; otherwise photograph is in very good condition. unknown books

16425Historically Black College. 1923. Photo and Memory Album disbound. Lane College. Jackson Tennessee. Album belonging to 1923 graduate Lessie Belle Spann. 90 pages front and back majority filled on 8"x8" pre-printed My Graduation Journal leaves. A detailed and engaging record of Spann's senior year and graduation including numerous photos of campus and friends along with her own hand-written commentary and pen-and-ink embellishments. Some photos cut and pasted within hand-made decorative motifs. Supplemented by ink dedications from her co-graduates as well as programs and artifacts pasted in from the year's events and photo prints of her professors cut and pasted as well. Early HBCU albums are rare especially with such extensive photo and written documentation.<br/><br/>Lane College was originally founded in 1882 as a high school to make "teachers and preachers" of the newly freed slaves. Its founder was Bishop Isaac Lane one of those newly freed slaves who quickly rose in the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church after Emancipation. His founding makes Lane one of the earliest black-founded and run HBCUs. In 1923 at the time of this album Lane was still living and active in the church and the College President was his son James Franklin Lane who is featured in this album in printed photos and other references. Like most of the early HBCUs founded in the wake of the Civil War Lane's early mission focused on primary and secondary education and shifted to higher education in the early 20th century. In the early 1920s a college education was still a goal out of reach for most African Americans due to widespread discrimination economic inequality and the inherent inequality of opportunity endemic in the "separate but equal" doctrine of the 1896 Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson. Historically black colleges and universities played a huge role in advancing equal education opportunities for African Americans including providing the education of 80% of all black American doctors dentists and Federal judges and leading in awarding black Americans with degrees in life sciences physical sciences mathematics and engineering. This album comes with two large approx. 4"x9" inch panoramic photos of students at work in physics and chemistry laboratories. <br/><br/>The owner of this album Lessie Belle Spann was born one of six children to parents Mary Ellen and John Wilson Spann and grew up in Tennessee near to Lane College. Her father was born in 1865 in reconstruction era Mississippi. As a 1923 graduate Spann gave the graduation Oration and was also the class historian. Spann has pasted at least 72 silver gelatin print photographs into this album many of them cut down to portraits from a larger size as well as numerous printed photos likely cut out of a school yearbook. The album pages are detailed and largely complete. One page is ripped down the middle put present. The entire album has been disbound and presents without boards or binding. Original double-punched holes provide an easy method for rebinding or storage. Rare and early artifact of an HBCU unusually complete. unknown books

1894WRCAM55632Hampton Va.: Printed by students of the Institute 1894. 8pp. Illus. Small octavo. Original pictorial self- wrappers. Minor soiling light wear. Very good plus. A rare fundraising appeal from the illustrious Hampton Normal Institute aimed specifically at the members of the Christian Endeavor Society in 1894. The pamphlet was written by Principal Hollis B. Frissell and printed by the African American and Native American students at the institute. The pamphlet includes several photographs of the campus and the classroom along with a group shot of the "Class of '94." The purpose of the pamphlet is stated in the second paragraph of text: "This leaflet is prepared especially for the Christian Endeavor Society in hopes that with the information it gives of Hampton Institute and its needs it will arouse interest among young Christians in our work and bring our cause before you as an object worthy of your Christian charity." Frissell then expounds upon the training of the "head" "hand" and "heart" of the Hampton students before enumerating his institution's funding needs. Donations may be contributed to the institute's general fund or earmarked for the establishment of one-time or endowed scholarships or given to the missionary fund the "apparatus fund" the housekeeping fund or as a subscription to THE SOUTHERN WORKMAN. <br> <br> Hampton Institute apparently issued similar pamphlets under the same title on a regular if not an annual basis in the 1890s though whether they issued more than one per year is not known and any differences are likely only found in the text. OCLC records just seven copies of an 8pp. pamphlet from 1894 with this wrapper title which we assume is the same as the present copy though we cannot be sure. It appears that the present copy differs from at least the copies at Duke and Wisconsin which are dated in print by Frissell "September 1894." It is possible even likely that the Hampton Institute issued this appeal targeted at the Christian Endeavor Society as well as other more general fundraising pamphlets in the same year. In any case it is a rare appeal from a significant African American and Native American educational institution. OCLC 6876159. Printed by students of the Institute unknown books
