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?!
