In the fall of 1901, Charlotte Hawkins Brown (1883-1961) jumped off
a Southern Railway train in the unfamiliar backwoods of Guilford
County, North Carolina. She was black, single, and barely eighteen
years old and had come alone from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to
begin her first real job as a teacher at a small, struggling school
for African Americans.
She stayed for over half a century. When the failing school was
closed at the end of her first year, Brown remained to carry on.
With virtually no resources save her own energy and determination,
she founded Palmer Memorial Institute, which she would lead for
fifty years. As other black private schools across the state
vanished, Brown built Palmer up to become one of the premier
academies for African American children in the nation.
A remarkable example of achievement in the face of segregation and
discrimination, the story of Charlotte Hawkins Brown and her school
continues to provide a model of educational success born of
dedication and hard work.
