Abstract:
In Sedalia in 1902, Charlotte Hawkins Brown founded a unique private school for African-Americans, the Palmer Memorial Institute. By doing so, she single-handedly changed African-American in North Carolina. Now a state historic site, the Institute is the first site to honor not only an African-American, but a woman of any race.
