    Starting a School in Raleigh, NC in 1807 and from 07 - 09 taught Black and White children together; only after some white parents complained did he separate them. Yet he continued to teach them both until 1832. See the Ad in the Raleigh paper.

    I am always amazed at the courage of the human spirit. :up:
