The school, which began as a series of night classes, grew into the primary source for post-high school education for many of Macon's most prominent African American citizens. Day classes were offered for children, followed by evening classes for adults. Instruction included course work in typing and shorthand, as well as music and academic subjects.Gift of Mr. Curtis and Mrs. Virginia Givens to the Tubman African American Museum.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Ruined buildings--Georgia--MaconAfrican American schools--Georgia--MaconCornerstone laying--Georgia--MaconAfrican Americans--HistoryBeda-Etta College cornerstoneStillImage
