Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute

I happen to have a picture of the Hampton school from another project I was working on. It may be of some interest that the Hampton school was one of many bording schools that were started by U.S. military officers and prison directors specifically for Black Americans. Although this is probably not new news, in later years many Native Americans were "placed" (aka abducted and assimilated) in boarding schools such as Hampton and Carslie. The picture is from this book:

Hultgren, M.L. & Molin, P.F. (1989). To lead and to serve: American Indian education at Hampton Institute 1878-1923. Hampton University Achives, Virginia.
