What One Young African American Woman Could Do: The Story of Dr. Charlotte Hawkins Brown and the Palmer Memorial Institute

Palmer Memorial Institute (PMI), located east of Greensboro, began in 1902 as a rural African American school and succeeded as a unique private school, for more than 60 years. Dr. Charlotte Hawkin Brown was its founder and leader for 50 of those years.

She was born in Henderson in 1883 to descendants of slaves. In 1888 the family moved to Cambridge, Massachusetts, near Boston, to escape Jim Crow and Segregationalist practices of the South and for better social, economic, and educational opportunities. Though one of few Black students in Cambridge's schools, young Brown was an excellent student, and by chance she met educator Alice Freeman Palmer, who became her mentor.

Palmer was so impressed by Brown's diligence at pursuing an advanced education that she helped sponsor Brown's schooling. She also introduced Brown to many important people in Boston, society people she would later approach to help with her school.

The Beginning of a Dream

After a year of junior college, Brown accepted a 25-dollar-a-month job from the American Missionary Association (AMA) and returned to her home state of North Carolina to teach poor, rural Blacks students.

She arrived at a rundown Bethany Institute in Sedalia in 1901. Her desire to help southern African Americans drove her to begin repairing the school, but unfortunately the AMA decided to close it. Though now jobless, Brown was encouraged by local African Americans to start her own school. The 18-year-old nearly single-handedly made it happen.

After securing money and encouragement from her friends in the North, she moved the school across the street to a blacksmith's shed. Brown soon raised enough money to build a campus with more than 200 acres and two new buildings. Unlike the trustees at other schools of that period (even African American institutions), the school's board of trustees members were all African Americans. After hiring a small staff and garnering the additional support of local Black and White leaders, Palmer Memorial Institute (Palmer) began operations.

Among other attributes, the school offered African American youth an unusual opportunity for cultural learning. Its goal was to be a facility where blacks could escape the then common assumption that African Americans were innately inferior to whites and did not need any schooling beyond vocational training.

In 1900 North Carolina had more than 2,000 privately operated schools for African Americans. Most teachers, however, had only an elementary school education so could instruct their students only up to that level.

Palmer was different because Brown offered college preparatory instruction in a junior and senior high school setting. Classes included drama, music, art, math, literature, and romance languages. Students were divided into small circle groups with teachers who served as counselors and advisers. Each student received personal training in character development and appearance. Additionally, all students had to work one hour per day for the school as service learning.

Troubles and Victories

By 1915 Palmer had gained support from national figures such as educational leader Booker T. Washington, Harvard University president Charles William Eliot, and Boston philanthropists Carrie and Galen Stone.

After a major fire destroyed two of six main buildings in 1917, Brown's determination to raise enough money to offset the loss prevented the school's closing. This successful effort also encouraged increased biracial, or both black and white, support for Palmer.

The Stones, white northerners, became Palmer's largest donors. They were the first significant donors to support the school because of its holistic approach to total education and its quality liberal arts programs, geared to educate Black Americans beyond basic training levels.

Renewed biracial support and increased contributions from across the nation helped fund Palmer's first major brick building and a new status as the only accredited rural high school, for African Americans or whites, in Guilford County. When another key building burned in 1922, a financially stronger and more community-oriented Palmer continued normal operations.

Brown introduced more liberal arts classes and advanced math and science courses for Palmer students. They even studied African American history at a time when no other North Carolina high school was teaching it.

A Holistic Education to Uplift the Individual

Brown took a year off to travel and study. In Europe she shared ideas with black educators Mary McLeod Bethune and Nannie Helen Burroughs. Together, these three women were known as the "Three Bs of Education." The Three Bs believed in combining a holistic triangle of ideas and lessons to achieve racial equality: Brown's triangle combined education, religion, and deeds; Bethune's triangle was "the head, the heart, and the hand"; Burroughs's was "the book, the Bible, and the broom." By the mid-1920s Brown was a nationally known speaker who stressed teaching these concepts through culture and liberal arts for racial uplift.

At the state level, she helped create the first school for delinquent African American girls. As time passed, Brown started a junior college and built a new boys' dormitory. Palmer's growing reputation increasingly drew middle- and upper-class students from outstanding families in the United States, Africa, Bermuda, Central America, and Cuba.

In 1937 Brown closed the elementary and junior college departments and convinced Guilford County officials to open the county's first public rural high school for African Americans. She became known as the "first lady of social graces" after appearing on national radio and publishing the book The Correct Thing to Do, to Say, to Wear in 1940. In the mid-1940s Brown raised 100,000 dollars for an endowment, and Ebony magazine published a feature article on prestigious Palmer as "the only...school of its kind in America."

In 1952 Brown retired after 50 years. She handpicked Wilhelmina M. Crosson of Boston to succeed her as Palmer's next president. Following a long illness, Brown died in 1961 and was buried with great honor on the campus she loved.

Palmer Memorial Institute has since become a state historic site. It was the first state-supported site to honor the contributions of African Americans and women. Ongoing programs highlight the history and development of African American education in North Carolina.

The school's legacy also lives on through generations of students and graduates who have been influenced by Palmer's philosophy: "Educate the individual to live in the greater world." They have become known around the globe as writers and singers, teachers and professors, doctors and lawyers, actors and actresses, scientists and mathematicians, and government officials.

Wilhelmina Crosson

Wilhelmina M. Crosson (1900-1991) was the second president of Palmer Memorial Institute. Born in Warrenton, she moved with her parents to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1906, where she became an excellent student and was a star player on her school's basketball team.

From an early age, Crosson dreamed of becoming a teacher. She began her career in 1920, instituting Boston's first remedial reading program. She further distinguished herself by becoming one of Boston's first African American women to teach English and history. Crosson learned about the triangle of education from Charlotte Hawkins Brown. Crosson's triangle focused on achieving educational efficiency, cultural security, and religious sincerity for all students.

With a desire to help children of her own race, she accepted the responsibility for teaching African American students the school system was ready to give up on. To the surprise of many, Crosson reformed those forgotten children. She gained national prominence in 1952 when she became the second president of Palmer Memorial Institute. She maintained the prestige of the school for 14 years.

James Farmer, in full James Leonard Farmer, Jr., (born January 12, 1920, Marshall, Texas, U.S.-died July 9, 1999, Fredericksburg, Virginia), American civil rights activist who, as a leader of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), helped shape the civil rights movement through his nonviolent activism and organizing of sit-ins and Freedom Rides, which broadened popular support for passage of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights acts in the mid-1960s.

Farmer, James U.S. News and World Report Magazine Photograph Collection, Library of Congress, Washington (digital file no. LC-DIG-ppmsc-01266)

Farmer was educated at Wiley College in Marshall, Texas (1938), and at Howard University in Washington, D.C. (1941), where his father taught divinity. A conscientious objector on religious grounds, he received a military deferral in World War II, and he joined the pacifist Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR). In 1942 he cofounded CORE, which originated integrated bus trips through the South, called Freedom Rides, to challenge local efforts to block the desegregation of interstate busing. Farmer, who sought racial justice by means of nonviolence, was often a target of racial violence himself.

He resigned from the leadership of CORE in 1965, and in 1968 he lost a run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to Shirley Chisholm. In 1969-70 he served as assistant secretary of health, education and welfare under President Richard M. Nixon. In 1985 Farmer published his autobiography, Lay Bare the Heart, and in 1998 he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Mary Ann Shadd Cary was an African American activist, writer, teacher, and lawyer. She was born in 1823 in the slave state of Delaware. Her parents were free African Americans who were dedicated to abolitionism. When she was 10 years old, Shadd moved with her family to the free state of Pennsylvania where she attended school and became a teacher.

Shadd and her family actively helped freedom seekers (people who escaped slavery). The Shadd family's participation in the Underground Railroad became even more dangerous after 1850 when Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act. This law made it legal to force freedom seekers in free states to return to enslavement. The law could also punish people like the Shadd family, who helped freedom seekers escape.

After the passage of this law, Mary Ann Shadd moved to Ontario, Canada to join other black Americans who left the United States. While in Canada, she married a man named Thomas J. Cary and they had two children. Now Mrs. Cary, she opened a school for black and white students. She also wrote and lectured about the importance of freedom while she was living Canada. Cary became the first black, female newspaper editor in North American history when she published Canada's first antislavery newspaper, The Provincial Freeman.

In 1860, Cary's husband passed away. A year later, Civil War broke out in the United States between northern and southern states. Cary returned to the U.S. to help recruit soldiers for the Union Army. After the war, she enrolled in the first class of Howard University Law School located in Washington, DC. She attended evening classes at Howard and taught local children during the day.

While living in DC, Cary continued to work as a political activist, a teacher, and a writer. She also wrote for a local African American newspaper The New National Era and gave public speeches to encourage African Americans to work together to recover from the slavery era. Cary was also a founder of the Colored Women's Progressive Franchise Association.

Cary also became involved in the women's suffrage movement. She was a member of the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and spoke at the NWSA's 1878 convention. She also advocated for the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. The Fourteenth Amendment defined citizenship and the Fifteenth Amendment granted African American men the right to vote. While Cary spoke in support of the Fifteenth Amendment, she was also critical of it as it did not give women the right to vote.

Toward the end of her life, Cary lived in a brick row house on W Street in Northwest DC. Today, the house is listed as a National Historic Landmark as it helps us understand her life and work as an advocate for the equality of all people.

Mary Ann Shadd Cary died of stomach cancer on June 5, 1893. She was buried at Columbian Harmony Cemetery in Washington, DC. In the late 1950s, the approximately 37,000 interred here were moved to National Harmony Memorial Park in Landover, Maryland.
