An account of the resource
Mary Peake began teaching contraband at Fort Monroe in the autumn of 1861. Two years later, General Benjamin F. Butler had this school constructed and it remained under military control until 1865, when the American Missionary Association began supplying teachers. It was later turned over to the trustees of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, who in 1871 allowed the nascent public school system of Elizabeth City County to manage it.

Description
An account of the resource
Founded in 1868, Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute educated and trained hundreds of African Americans to be teachers. Although African Americans had been denied the opportunity for education during slavery, Hampton required its students (ages 14-25) to be able to read, write, and know arithmetic through long division to qualify for admission. During their three-year course of study, students took classes in grammar, rhetoric, composition, arithmetic, algebra, geometry, bookkeeping, geography, United States history and government, and the natural sciences, as well as agriculture and household industries.
