This week on the Lectures and History podcast, the focus is on one of the earliest institutions dedicated to black education in North America.

Maureen-Ele-Lgersman Lee, director of the William and Mary Bray School Lab, discusses the history of the Williamsburg Bray School, an 18th century institution that educated free and enslaved black children.

From 1760 to 1774, teacher Anne Wagner instructed hundreds of students between the ages of 3 and 10.

Lessons included reading, sewing for girls, and the tenants of the Anglican Church.

Director Elgersman Lee also examines the legacies of the Bray School students and how their

stories continue to shape our understanding of early America.

The Bray School was located in Williamsburg, Virginia, which is also home to the College of

William and Mary.
