Berea College Founding Story Featured

The Louisville Courier Journal posted an interesting article, "This Kentucky college did the unthinkable by pushing integration during slavery," by Maggie Menderski on February 5, 2020.

Menderski recently visited the campus of Berea College and provides the founding story of the institution. She interviewed faculty and staff members and shares ways in which the initial vision of founder, John G. Fee, continues to impact those associated with the college.

Berea College is featured in earlier College History Garden posts where you can find additional information on the institution:
