Abstract:
The James E. Cheek Learning Resource Center on the campus of Shaw University in Raleigh holds an interesting archive concerning the school's past. Henry M. Tupper founded the institution shortly after the Civil War in 1865. Ella Baker, the First Lady of Gospel music was a graduate of Shaw. Another institution, North Carolina A&T University began on the Shaw campus in 1891, later moving to Greensboro, N.C. where it is now the nation's largest HBCU.
