Black History Moment Blast From The Past

On July 15, 1822, the City of Brotherly Love decided to live up to its slogan, by officially opening its school doors to black children.

The Board of Education opened a public elementary school for black boys, in what was then the old Presbyterian Meeting house. And four years later in 1826, the Board established a public elementary school for black girls.

WooHoo! Can I get a high five for justice?!
