In 1869 the Institute for Colored Youth was led by Fanny M. Jackson while several schools on Bird’s, the Vaux and Ohio Streets served colored children under Lawrence White and Miss Le Count. The Freedmen’s Bank operated at 919 Lombard Street with a cashier. Regulated public life included horse cars, two cemeteries, and limited refuge for the aged.
