Figure 1.--We have not been able to find out much infomation about Annie Davis or the school. We believe it my be a school named after Annie Davis rather than founded by her. We think Annie Davis may be the Maryland slave that wrote to President Lincoln asking if she was really free. We note a photograph of a class at the Annie Davis School near Tuskegee, Alabama taken about 1902. It appears to be a school asociated assiciated with George Washington Carver's Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. The photograph was taken by the important turn-of-the century photograper Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952). Source Libraey of Congress. LC-USZ62-78481.

TWe have not been able to find out much infomation about Annie Davis or the school. We believe it my be a school named after Annie Davis rather than founded by her.

It appears to be a school asociated assiciated with George Washington Carver's Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Normal means teacher training. The African-American children are studying studying corn and cotton. Carver is best known for developing techniques to improve soils depleted by repeated plantings of cotton which was the cash crop of the South. He advocated farmers to grow alternative crops, such as peanuts and sweet potatoes which might help restore the soil. The photograph was taken by the important turn-of-the century photograper Frances Benjamin Johnston (1864-1952).
