2021-2022 GUIDE TO RESIDENCE LIVING THE OFFICE OF RESIDENCE LIFE AND HOUSING ON THE COVER… Miles Bibb Hall In 2020 Miles Bibb Hall was officially renamed from North Hall to Mary Miles Bibb Hall in honor of alumna Mary Elizabeth Miles (class of 1843). Miles became the first black woman to graduate from a public normal school in the U.S. and has been called a pioneering abolitionist, teacher and journalist. She was married to antislavery lecturer and abolitionist Henry Bibb from 1847-1854. During this period she opened schools and worked on the Voice of the Fugitive newspaper her husband founded, and remained active in the antislavery movement where they worked to set up an endpoint of the Underground Railroad in Canada. After Bibb’s death Miles married Isaac Cary and continued to teach and run her school until the 1870’s.
