Birmimgham's 'Negro Emancipation School'.

 

Birmimgham's  'Negro Emancipation School'.

Image: The Negro Emancipation School (Subscribers List)

This rare document shows how in 1838 many of the members of the Birmingham Antislavery Society, including Sturge, helped to found a short lived Negro Emancipation School. It once stood near the town centre in Aston's Heneage Street. Little is now known about this school, or how long it existed.
