  • HBCU Information Sheet Fisk University
    HBCU Information Sheet Fisk University Fisk University was founded in Nashville, Tennessee in 1865 (although it did not accept students and offer classes until January 1866.) It was named after General Clinton B. Fisk, who provided the young institution with its first facilities at the former Union Army barracks in the state’s capital. The school was founded by John Ogden, Reverend Erastus Cravath, and Reverend Edward P. Smith of the American Missionary Association to help educate freedmen following the Civil War.1 From its founding, Fisk accepted women and men as students. In its early years, Fisk was known as Fisk Free Colored School, and sought to teach freedmen of all ages and genders to read, write and count. In 1867, however, the school became Fisk University, with a new mission to help train teachers to meet the growing demand among emerging public schools. In the early 1900s, three paths to a bachelor of arts degree were added to the curriculum, including social science. Over the next decades, the university’s curriculum continued to expand, and by the 1930s, Fisk was nationally perceived as the “leading African American University in the nation.”2 Fisk’s Physics Department was established in 1930 as Elmer Imes–who had earned his bachelor’s in science from Fisk and his PhD from the University of Michigan–returned to serve as the Chair of the Department, which he helped develop into a strong program.3 A sample of notable graduates and alumni from Fisk University includes: • W.E.B. Du Bois: co-founder of NAACP • Elmer S.

  • 129Th Annual Farmers Conference February 17-19, 2021
    129TH ANNUAL FARMERS CONFERENCE FEBRUARY 17-19, 2021 “Transforming Food Systems in a Changing World.” ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The first Farmers Conference was held at Tuskegee University on February 23, 1892. Its purpose was to convene farmers in an educationally stimulating environment that would arouse public sentiment and create an interest in the common, mundane, and practical affairs of life. The morning was spent identifying problems associated with farming and the afternoon portion of the conference focused on their solutions. Today, this conference has evolved into a two-day event that focuses on the problems and solutions for small-scale farmers, landowners, and their communities in managing change in agriculture. Participants are engaged in intense courses of instructions, problem-solving, and interactive demonstrations. Additionally, the conference provides an opportunity for small-scale farmers to network with colleagues and university educators. From its inception, the Tuskegee University’s Farmers Conference has retained the following objectives: (1) to share up-to-date information relevant to small- scale farmers and landowners involved in the production of traditional and alternative agricultural products; (2) to create awareness about family health, nutritional challenges, and existing resources for rural families; (3) to provide research-based information in a consumer adaptable format; and (4) to strengthen networks and partnerships that address problems of small-scale farmers and rural communities concerning local, national and global markets. 2021 MERIT FARM FAMILY Mrs. Mae Lizzie Faulk of Faulk Family Farms Bullock County, Alabama SPONSORED BY: FIRST SOUTH FARM CREDIT The Faulk Family Farm Banks, Alabama In the Book of St. Matthew Chapter 7:16 “You will know the tree by the fruit it bears; 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.” The same can be said about the late Evins Faulk, Sr.
