Zusammenfassung
Photograph of the Jacobs Free School, which offered tuition-free schooling to African-American children. Founded by Harriet Jacobs, the school was unique in being both free to use, and run by African-Americans (the head of the school was Harriet's daughter, en:Louisa Matilda Jacobs, assisted by another young African-American woman) instead of being led by white abolitionists. Harriet Jacobs is indicated with a small X beneath her.
This photograph was distributed to Northern abolitionists who had helped fund the school.
