"Reunion of the Ages" information ; The physical structure of Morristown College. 520 $a This is an intriguing story of a small, private, and historically Black junior college founded by Dr. Judson S. Hill in 1881 under the direction of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Charged with educating former slaves, the school and its staff faced constant harassment and hostilities. Nonetheless, it persevered to develop an institution that had a positive impact on the city of Morristown and surrounding areas. The school's influence was also felt throughout Tennessee, the United States, and in several nations around the world. Its thousands of alumni continue to make lasting contributions to society, both foreign and domestic. After 107 years of service, Morristown College closed its doors. Within the limits of its very scarce resources, the College supplied more to the community than many of its larger more well-funded counterparts. Despite its size, it was one of the greatest schools not measured by vast possessions but its influence on the lives of so many people.--Back cover of book. 610 20 $a Morristown College $x History. 650 0 $a Historically Black colleges and universities $z Tennessee $x History. 650 0 $a African American universities and colleges $z Tennessee $x History. 650 0 $a Junior colleges $z Tennessee $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social aspects. $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Racism in education $z Tennessee $x History. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717031112.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=735E8C1A440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
