On December 3, 1851, the fiery educator and abolitionist opened the School for Colored Girls-- the only school in Washington, DC, dedicated to training African American students to be teachers. Miner fended off numerous attacks, including stonings, arson, and physical threats. The school would gradually gain national fame and stimulate a nationwide debate on the education of black people. -- adapted from back cover of jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 371.82996 Miner Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList
