She trained with her religious order, called the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, for three and a half years before opening her first school in Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1892. By 1942 she had a system of African American Catholic schools in thirteen states, plus forty mission centers and twenty-three rural schools (Smith).

Every Sunday my mother would force me into my church dress with the itchy lace, and white ankle-socks with the big, puff bow. We would walk into St. John A.M.E. Church and sit in age-old pews, singing Negro Spirituals that I had not yet learned to appreciate. Growing up, church consisted of sermons, praise, and family. For years I would automatically participate in the church activities and youth-group service projects, taking the many lectures about education a grain of salt. However, I never understood the true meaning of service and the importance of education until I learned about the history of Huntsville, Alabama. The founder of St. John African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church, and the founder of Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU), William Hooper Councill, truly exemplified what it meant to serve his community.

St. Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton was essential in the history of newly revolutionized America and its relationship with Rome, a relationship she solidified when she was the first person ever born in America to be canonized by the Catholic Church. Her efforts to establish religious schools in America helped shape the future of education and religion as one, instead of two different things. Although living hundreds of years ago, Seton’s legacy will live and her dedication and commitment to the church will always be vital in the shaping of America.

The sermons given at Howard University’s Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel are known to liven up a calm Sunday morning. On the morning of September 18th, I expected the same caliber speaker that had graced the pulpit all of the previous weekends. What I didn’t expect on that Sunday was to see Michael Eric Dyson, a man whose name stuck a chord with most of the public. E even though his name had been on the itinerary since the first chapel service, I was still in shock to see him in person. I had seen him once before earlier in the year at Hampton University’s graduation. If his sermon was anything like his commencement speech, I reckoned that I was in for a show - and that I was.

“How long I gazed upon that magical creation I can not tell, but it was imprinted so deeply on my memory that I could not forget the incident, and looking long and steadily upon the copy she had given me, I followed it so well…” (Willard 74). Although this was a simple action, it was one of Frances Willard’s most important childhood events that sparked her interest in learning and the field of education. Throughout the duration of Frances Willard’s childhood, she was very curious and optimistic about attending. “Where could we have the academy? Who would be the teacher? These were vital questions to Mary and me, for mother was not more anxious for our education than were we ourselves” (Willard 75). Contradictory to Victorian standards, at eighteen years of age,Frances Willard wrote that she aspired to be a teacher in one of her journal entries. “I once thought I should like to be Victoria 's maid of honor-since I thought I 'd be a resident of [...... ]- next I wanted to be an artist next again I wished to be a hunter but returning from these deviations I 've decided to be a Music Teacher 'simply that & nothing more” (Willard Jan. 1 1855). Rather than directing her life on a path towards becoming a maid, Willard decided to challenge these common standards and expectations assigned to women and carry out her own aspirations. These ideas were also emphasized in an article by Henry and Isabel

A local civil engineer, Tom Tutwiler, stationed his headquarters a couple miles southwest of Sumner, MS. The town, Tutwiler, was founded and named after Mr. Tutwiler in 1899 (Gutenberg, 2015). As the railroads grew so did the town. After the railroads had become established in the small town, a two story building and roadways were then built. An older gentleman by the name Captain H.B. Fitch managed the first floor of the building as a store while his wife built a school house on the second floor (Gutenberg, 2015). The school only began with five scholars. By 1905, the town became combined and a man by the name of W.E. Fite was mayor (Gutenberg, 2015).

One should work their hardest in order to achieve what is best for the community and future to come.

Daniel says that she has seen many who are involved in teaching and providing care through the church go on to be teachers, counselors, and administrators for various youth programs. Mrs. Daniel says, “the church opens doors for people to get involved with kids and shows them the impact that one person can make in a child’s life.” She became interested in working with children in this very way. Mrs. Daniel began to volunteer at her church, which later led to a part-time job. While working part-time, she continued her education and gained more experience that eventually led her to become the Director of Children’s Ministry. In order to prepare for entering this field, Mrs. Daniel suggest that, while it is not required, a person should have a college degree that prepares them for working with families and children and that they stay up to date on trends and issues in the church as well as in the community. She also says that if one plans to work in a church environment, they should have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Mrs. Daniel describes working in this kind of environment as a “calling.” She does not think that this is a field for everyone, “it takes a special kind of person to put the needs of children and the community in front of their own” says Mrs.

It was built on land donated by Reverend James King, and in his honor, King University was founded (King University, 2015).

Lee, the principal at Nathan Bishop Middle School, invited a religious leader, a rabbi, to give the prayers at the promotion ceremony for the 8th grade class of which Deborah Weisman was a member.

On November 19, 1866, a number of members of the First Congregational missionary society met to hear Dr. Charles B Boynton, presiding minister, emphasize the special obligation of the nation and clergy to the recently emancipated freedmen. Reverend Benjamin F. Morris, a member of the society, then enthusiastically spoke about a visit to Wayland Seminary. During this visit he was impressed by the accomplishments that a teacher with poor equipment was able to make with half a dozen young colored men. By the end of the meeting, Morris then proposed the
