Long Beach Visit of Prentiss Institute Founder
A 78 year old former teacher from Prentiss Normal and Industrial Institute in Mississippi visits Long Beach to reconnect with about 400 former students in California. Mrs. J E Johnson recalls the school’s start in Jeff Davis County and notes its growth to 550 acres, 24 buildings, and a broad program. Graduates have become typists, teachers, ministers, with three missionaries in Liberia and a Harvard astrophysicist professor. The institution relies on donations and faith with a mission to expand opportunities for Black education.
