Where in Alexandria was the school? I would love to visit the site!
I wish we knew! I’ll do a little research and see if there are still records available.
A map here has the location of the school: http://www.pbs.org/mercy-street/blogs/mercy-street-revealed/facts-and-glossary-alexandrias-african-american-history/
Does anyone have an idea where in the photo are Harriet Jacobs and her daughter?
There’s some more information about the history and location of the school here, scroll down to see the intersection where it was located! http://www.paulawhitacre.com/blog/2020/9/20/harriet-jacobs-teacher
