African American Education
Rare Graduate's Photo and Memory Album of Historically Black Institution "Lane College" 1923
Historically Black College. 1923. Photo and Memory Album disbound. Lane College. Jackson Tennessee. Album belonging to 1923 graduate Lessie Belle Spann. 90 pages front and back majority filled on 8"x8" pre-printed My Graduation Journal leaves. A detailed and engaging record of Spann's senior year and graduation including numerous photos of campus and friends along with her own hand-written commentary and pen-and-ink embellishments. Some photos cut and pasted within hand-made decorative motifs. Supplemented by ink dedications from her co-graduates as well as programs and artifacts pasted in from the year's events and photo prints of her professors cut and pasted as well. Early HBCU albums are rare especially with such extensive photo and written documentation.<br/><br/>Lane College was originally founded in 1882 as a high school to make "teachers and preachers" of the newly freed slaves. Its founder was Bishop Isaac Lane one of those newly freed slaves who quickly rose in the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church after Emancipation. His founding makes Lane one of the earliest black-founded and run HBCUs. In 1923 at the time of this album Lane was still living and active in the church and the College President was his son James Franklin Lane who is featured in this album in printed photos and other references. Like most of the early HBCUs founded in the wake of the Civil War Lane's early mission focused on primary and secondary education and shifted to higher education in the early 20th century. In the early 1920s a college education was still a goal out of reach for most African Americans due to widespread discrimination economic inequality and the inherent inequality of opportunity endemic in the "separate but equal" doctrine of the 1896 Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson. Historically black colleges and universities played a huge role in advancing equal education opportunities for African Americans including providing the education of 80% of all black American doctors dentists and Federal judges and leading in awarding black Americans with degrees in life sciences physical sciences mathematics and engineering. This album comes with two large approx. 4"x9" inch panoramic photos of students at work in physics and chemistry laboratories. <br/><br/>The owner of this album Lessie Belle Spann was born one of six children to parents Mary Ellen and John Wilson Spann and grew up in Tennessee near to Lane College. Her father was born in 1865 in reconstruction era Mississippi. As a 1923 graduate Spann gave the graduation Oration and was also the class historian. Spann has pasted at least 72 silver gelatin print photographs into this album many of them cut down to portraits from a larger size as well as numerous printed photos likely cut out of a school yearbook. The album pages are detailed and largely complete. One page is ripped down the middle put present. The entire album has been disbound and presents without boards or binding. Original double-punched holes provide an easy method for rebinding or storage. Rare and early artifact of an HBCU unusually complete. unknown books

No copy could be found among Institutional or library Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>Women's Academy and Seminary Archive recording the first important movement of women into higher education in the United States seminary was synonymous with "academy" and did not have the religious connotation of today. In the 1800's the Female Academy and Seminary Movement transformed American educational norms allowing women the opportunity to receive secular non-religious college-level education. Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. This document dates from just 3 years after Seneca Falls. unknown books

Dublin: Joseph Ray 1682. Second Edition. Hardcover rebound in leather. Very Good Condition. Rebound in contemporary leather extensive contemporary notes to front endpapers one endpaper with the upper right corner torn. Quite clean internally - in two parts a third was published in 1689. 14 70 8 154pp<br/><br/>The first and second parts of Ware's extensive and pernicious forgeries of church history intended to stir up anti-Catholic anti-Irish and anti-Jesuit sentiment. They played a large role in the absurd stories surrounding the Popish Plot and many of Ware's creations continued to pollute reformation history into the 19th 20th and even 21st centuries. Ware was the son of a prominent historian and used his father John's name to legitimize the documents that he "found" - one of the most long lived forgeries was a Cranmer letter at the beginning of part two which entered into Cranmer's works and was preserved for centuries through misattributions by historians such as John Strype and wishful thinking.

African American Education: Frissell Hollis B.
THE HAMPTON NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE AND ITS WORK FOR NEGRO AND INDIAN YOUTH.HAMPTON'S APPEAL TO THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIETY wrapper title and inside front cover text
Hampton Va.: Printed by students of the Institute 1894. 8pp. Illus. Small octavo. Original pictorial self- wrappers. Minor soiling light wear. Very good plus. A rare fundraising appeal from the illustrious Hampton Normal Institute aimed specifically at the members of the Christian Endeavor Society in 1894. The pamphlet was written by Principal Hollis B. Frissell and printed by the African American and Native American students at the institute. The pamphlet includes several photographs of the campus and the classroom along with a group shot of the "Class of '94." The purpose of the pamphlet is stated in the second paragraph of text: "This leaflet is prepared especially for the Christian Endeavor Society in hopes that with the information it gives of Hampton Institute and its needs it will arouse interest among young Christians in our work and bring our cause before you as an object worthy of your Christian charity." Frissell then expounds upon the training of the "head" "hand" and "heart" of the Hampton students before enumerating his institution's funding needs. Donations may be contributed to the institute's general fund or earmarked for the establishment of one-time or endowed scholarships or given to the missionary fund the "apparatus fund" the housekeeping fund or as a subscription to THE SOUTHERN WORKMAN. <br> <br> Hampton Institute apparently issued similar pamphlets under the same title on a regular if not an annual basis in the 1890s though whether they issued more than one per year is not known and any differences are likely only found in the text. OCLC records just seven copies of an 8pp. pamphlet from 1894 with this wrapper title which we assume is the same as the present copy though we cannot be sure. It appears that the present copy differs from at least the copies at Duke and Wisconsin which are dated in print by Frissell "September 1894." It is possible even likely that the Hampton Institute issued this appeal targeted at the Christian Endeavor Society as well as other more general fundraising pamphlets in the same year. In any case it is a rare appeal from a significant African American and Native American educational institution. OCLC 6876159. Printed by students of the Institute unknown books
