African Americans remained nominally free but segregated, impoverished, imprisoned over the slightest suspicion and with few options but to flee the state to northern latitudes or the newly conquered West. The resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan during the 19th century reinforced ins ...

Mount Meigs Colored Institute
The Mount Meigs Colored Institute (also Montgomery County Training School) was a reform school founded by Cornelia Bowen for African-Americans in Mount Meigs, Alabama, an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Alabama. The school was founded in 1888 as a single-room school; four years later, its students moved into a two-story facility built for the purpose. The work of constructing the new building was done by male students. The school's models were Tuskegee Institute and Hampton Institute, and it advocated vocational schooling, teaching such skills as farming, carpentry, blacksmithing—the hope was that the school would be able to provide its own food and that students would contribute to white and black communities. Besides the normal classes of instruction, the school taught farming, blacksmithing, and wheelwriting to boys, and sewing and cooking to girls. Students at the school also farmed the nine acres of land that were under cultivation and grew crops included co ...
