Linconville: An Anthropological History of Black St. Augustine

Recognition

A historical account and thesis of the various schools in St. Augustine during the late 1800s. Specifically, it goes into great detail of the Peabody School.

"Establishing one if the first and longest lasting black schools, Bishop Augustus Verot brought over eight sisters to St. Josephs for the sole purpose of giving the freedmen and children a "Christian [Catholic] education."

"By 1879, the Sisters were teaching 100 black pupils, more than an of the other five Catholic schools in Florida."
