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

191523929New York City N.Y.: Not Published 1915. John Huston Finley 1863 - 1940 American educator and journalist ".selected as president of the City College of New York CCNY whose board of trustees was dominated by Democrats. Backed by these trustees Finley performed at CCNY a transformation similar to the one he had earlier carried out at Knox College except that in New York there was a greater vocational component to the curricular changes he helped initiate. Also the relocation of CCNY's main center from East Twenty-third Street to its neo-Gothic campus in upper Manhattan came about during Finley's presidency. He worked tirelessly to raise CCNY's status to stimulate student pride and to fight off budget reductions demanded by parsimonius trustees and state officials. Not yet a college known for its student radicalism pre-World War I CCNY and its largely Jewish student body basked in its president's benign presence.
