Orange Park Normal and Industrial School admits both races
Orange Park, Florida
![]()
The American Missionary Association opened this boarding school in 1891 and taught Black and white pupils in the same rooms, which no other school in Florida was doing. In 1895 the legislature answered with a law making it a criminal offence to teach the two races together. The school held on through the fight for years afterward and did not close until 1913.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
