  CLICK ON THE PICTURE TO ACCESS THE SMITHSONIAN ONLINE EXHIBIT Meet Edmonia Highgate Thanks to CSAA Board Member, Ralph Buglass, for this fascinating submission! If you we were with us in 2019 at the CSAA Country School Conference, you may recall that the Hosanna School Museum was a school we featured through a presentation by Iris Barnes, Ph.D. The Hosanna School is currently showcased in a Smithsonian Museum of African-American History and Culture online exhibit that you will surely enjoy. Click on the picture at left to reach the Smithsonian Exhibit! Edmonia Goodelle Highgate was an educator, writer, and activist during the Reconstruction Era. Born in Syracuse, New York in 1844, she was the eldest daughter of seven children by Charles and Hannah Francis Highgate. Edmonia graduated from Syracuse High School with honors in 1861. At age 17, she was the school’s first Black graduate. Highgate later earned a teaching certificate from the Syracuse Board of Education. And....the online exhibit also links to a great video about the Hosanna School and a preservation effort underway at a Rosenwald school in another Maryland locality."--Ralph During a leisurely visit to the Hosanna School website, enjoy a drone flyover and digital 3-D look inside this two-story schoolhouse!
