In the soul of Eatonville, Florida, a town rooted in Black self-governance and literary history, rests the legacy of the Hungerford School, a once-thriving Black educational institution whose story deserves to be more than a footnote.
This piece is resonant. I’m in the middle of writing a book proposal and have a chapter dedicated to schools that didn’t survive post segregation. I’m focusing on Charlotte Hawkins Brown’s Palmer Institute. I absolutely love the way you articulated the importance of these spaces.

VERY interesting about your book proposal. Can’t wait to hear more.
Thanks for this quick, important information. I had never heard of the school or the story!
Stay cool 😎 metaphorically & literally.
