Colored Teachers of Loudoun
Notes by Larry Roeder
4/25/2016
The following report was discovered in the archives of LCPS and presents a list
of “colored” teachers and their instructional assignments for the academic year
of 1926/27.
Editorial note: The term “colored” was the contemporary word for AfricanAmerican or black in 1926.
The report indicated that colored schools opened on Tuesday, October 5th,
following an institute to be held at Leesburg on October fourth. Segregated
Teacher Institutes were used to share thinking on ways of teaching, to develop
solutions, sign contracts, listen to news, etc.
An interesting note indicated that the Virginia School Supply company
contributed a map of the United States to be given to the school having the best
report at the League Rally on Saturday, November thirteenth in Leesburg.
Research objective. What was the League Rally and how did it compare with the
School Fairs? Was it only for colored schools, or did both colored and white
schools participate? Probably source of answers will be copies of the Loudoun
Times Mirror in the Balch Library.
