This book covers the history of Morristown College, an African American junior college. Under the direction of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the school was founded in 1881 by Dr. Judson S. Hill. Tasked with educating former slaves from around the east Tennessee region, Morristown College persevered despite hostilities and meager resources. The College ceased operations in 1988 but made an impact on the local area as well as its 1,000s of students.
