Little-Easter accepted to Virginia Union University

Please congratulate Ariel Little-Easter on her recent acceptance to Virginia Union University in Richmond, Virginia.  Way to go Ariel!

UNIVERSITY HISTORY
Researched by
Dr. Raymond P. Hylton
Professor of History

Our mission at Virginia Union University was first put into operation shortly after April 3, 1865, the date when Richmond, Virginia was liberated by troops of the United States Army of the James. It was then that representatives from our founding organization, the American Baptist Home Mission Society, came to the former Confederate capital as teachers and missionaries. In that same month, eleven teachers were holding classes for former slaves at two missions in the city. By November 1865 the Mission Society had established, and was officially holding classes for, Richmond Theological School for Freedmen, one of the four institutions forming the “Union” that gives our University its name. Even though the Civil War had ended and that same year the 13th Amendment to the Constitution officially abolished slavery, many trials still lay ahead. It became more and more certain that freedom would not, of itself, be enough. It could not sufficiently address the problems of a large, newly-emancipated population that had been systematically kept down and denied training skills, opportunities, and even literacy itself. Some slaves had been severely punished for even trying to read the Bible.

The Wingate University Seal

Created in 1995 by an alumnus of Wingate, this seal incorporates elements from all of the seals which were used since the founding of the institution in 1895, including the scroll, the branches and the circular design. This seal also adds to Wingate’s symbolic traditions by representing both the historic oak trees which were planted generations ago on the campus quadrangle and the Greek crosses which were a part of the design of Wingate’s first academic building. They represent the University’s Christian heritage. The Wingate University motto, “Knowledge, Faith and Service” is rendered in Latin as a reflection of Wingate’s emphasis on a traditional liberal arts education as the core of its curriculum.

Day accepted to Morris College

Please join QGPHS in congratulating Kendra Day on her recent acceptance to Morris College in Sumter, South Carolina.  Way to go Kendra!

The Morris Experience

Under authorization granted by the Baptist Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina in 1906, Morris College was established in 1908 "for the Christian and Intellectual Training of Negro youth." This action signaled the beginning of a heroic venture in higher education by a group of men and women less than a half century removed from the blight of American slavery. The majority of these "founding fathers" were poor and without any formal learning, but they possessed an "unfaltering faith in God and a zeal to provide for others the educational opportunities they themselves were denied."
