Subject	African Americans -- Education Miner Normal School Miner Teachers College Mytrilla Miner Teachers, Training of
Description	Illustration of Myrtilla Miner (1815-1864), founder of the Miner School, which became Miner Teachers College. Miss Miner was a native of New York, and had also taught planters’ daughters in Mississippi. Miss Miner became determined to improve the lives of African Americans, and hence, founded a school to teach young African American women in December 1851. Despite discouragement, lack of funds, lack of support, and open opposition, Miss Miner’s dream to establish a school to train women as teachers was realized in the establishment of a “colored girls school”.
