Abstract:

The Colored Orphanage was organized for African American children in Oxford, Granville County. In 1946, the institution was only one of two orphanages for black children, outnumbered by 25 orphanages for white children. The major difficulty faced by this orphanage was the challenge to raise funds from state appropriation and private donation.
