About the author

William James Edwards

b. 1869

A pioneering Black educator in Alabama, he founded the Snow Hill Normal and Industrial Institute in 1893 and built it from a one-room log cabin into a thriving school. His memoir, Twenty-Five Years in the Black Belt, offers a firsthand look at education and community-building in the post-Reconstruction South.
