- Description:
- This photograph depicts five Palmer Memorial Institute (PMI) teachers. PMI was established in 1902 by Dr. Charlotte Hawkins Brown at Sedalia, North Carolina near Greensboro. The African American school evolved from an agricultural and manual training facility to a fully accredited, nationally recognized preparatory school. More than 1,000 students graduated during Brown's 50-year presidency. The school closed its doors in the 1970s, but the campus reopened in 1987 as North Carolina's first African American state historic site and a memorial to Dr. Brown.
