A propos de cet article

HAMPTON AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL was founded in 1868 Black and White leaders of the American Missionary Association after the Civil War to provide education to freedmen. The school later became Hampton University and offers 90 programs, including 50 bachelor degree programs, 25 master’s degree programs and nine doctoral programs. The campus was founded on the grounds of a former plantation in Elizabeth City County, located on the Hampton River. Booker T. Washington was among the school’s first alumni. Diminutive silk ribbon, 1 13/16 x 3 ¼ New York: Factory No. 7, ca 1910s. White letters on a blue field spell out "Hampton" beneath a blue, white, and gold seal with legend reading "Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute / 1865." The ribbon was part of a set of tobacco silks issued by Egyptienne Luxury, showcasing many famous colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. Fraying to edges. Some clipping or loss to lower edge. In 1861, the American Missionary Association responded to the former slaves’ needs for education and hired Mary Smith Peake as its first teacher at the camp. She had already secretly been teaching slaves and free blacks despite the state’s legal prohibition. She first taught on September 17, 1861, and was said to have gathered her pupils under a large oak tree. In 1863, the Emancipation Proclamation was read there, the first place in the Confederate States. WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT, who served as President of the United States and later Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, also served as President of Hampton’s Board of Trustees. He was quite influential of securing federal support for the Institute. Everything we sell is guaranteed authentic forever to the original buyer. We also offer a 30-day return policy.
