About
History
In order to provide the masses of refugees some kind of education, Mary Peake, a free Negro, held her first class, which consisted of about twenty students, on September 17, 1861 under a simple oak tree. This tree would later be known as the Emancipation Oak. Today, the Emancipation Oak still stands on the Hampton University campus as a lasting symbol of the promise of education for all.
