In October 1957, Rosa Parks moved to Hampton, Virginia to work at the Holly Tree Inn, a residence and guest house at Hampton Institute (now @_Hamptonu). Parks worked in Hampton for about a year in the wake of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Her presence in the community provided a tangible link to the Civil Rights Movement and a constant reminder of quiet courage.

📍 Discover more civil rights icons that impacted Hampton - and the nation - when you visit Legacy Park on the Hampton University campus.

September 17, 1861, Mary Smith Peake began teaching “contrabands” (enslaved people who sought freedom at @thefortmonroe during the American Civil War) to read and write under beneath the tree that would become known as the Emancipation Oak.

Peake was the American Missionary Association's first African American teacher, though she refused to accept a salary. She continued to teach from her death bed until she died of tuberculosis in 1862. Her school is considered as a precursor @_hamptonu.

📍 Discover more legends of history - that are still impacting us today - when you visit Legacy Park on the Hampton University campus.
