Morven School
I've probably belabored this item enough already, but why, someone might ask, did I devote more space to Morven School than to Little Union Church and Haw Branch together, when the latter two are extant but the former probably is not? Precisely for that reason. Information on this school and on a number of others like it around Amelia County is sparse, but offers tantalizing hints of a story that needs to be told. Most of my search results for Morven School consisted of death notices of distinguished Black men and women whose obituaries proudly note that they once attended there. The history of these small rural segregation-era African American schools is fast vanishing, and I fear that it may soon be irretrievably lost. This is my tiny and inadequate contribution to the fight to see that the memory is kept alive. -- 2603:6081:8004:DD5:6451:2AC4:EB73:1BE (talk) 23:47, 12 December 2021 (UTC)
