| Spelman College, Atlanta, Georgia | |
| Updated: 02/2008 | |
DESCRIPTION: Spelman was founded in 1881 in the basement of Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, by two Massachusetts teachers from the Oread Institute: Harriet E. Giles and Sophia B. Packard. The school was originally named Atlanta Baptist Female Seminary and then later, Spelman Seminary after Laura Spelman, an Oread student and wife of John D. Rockefeller who helped to fund Spelman. Miss Giles and Miss Packard began the school with 11 black women and $100 given to them by a church congregation in Medford, Mass. In 1882 the two women returned to Massachusetts to bid for more money, and they were introduced to wealthy businessman John D. Rockefeller, who promised he would get in contact with the women again if they "stuck" with the mission they had set out on. Giles and Packard indeed stuck. In 1883, the school relocated to a nine acre (36,000 m²) site in Atlanta relatively close to the church they began in, which originally had only five buildings to support classroom and residence | |
