Material Detail

Located in Raleigh, Saint Augustine’s College was founded by the Episcopal Church in 1867.   Saint Augustine’s Normal School and Collegiate Institute was its original name.  Like many institutions of higher learning established during the late 1860s and early 1870s, St. Augustine’s was created to educate freedmen.  Although the Freedmen’s Bureau assisted the formation of historically black college, they, including St. Augustine’s Normal School, depended heavily on denominational and individual charity.  Schools were affiliated with a denomination from which came much financial support.
