From the supplier: William J. Edwards, African American educator and graduate of Alabama's Tuskegee Institute, founded the Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute in Wilcox County, Alabama in 1893 to provide poor, rural African Americans with an education. Edwards refused to accept aid from local churches, because he wanted his school to remain religiously independent. He established the Black-Belt Improvement Society, which encouraged African Americans to acquire property and better their economic situations. The society furnished agricultural information, founded purchasing cooperatives and sponsored discussion groups.
