    SAHRA AHMED BORDENTOWN MANUAL TRAINING AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL THE TUSKEGEE OF THE NORTH ED P&L 863: AFRICAN AMERICAN EDUCATION 1700-1950 NOVEMBER 24th, 2010 BORDENTOWN MANUAL TRAINING AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL “For a seventy year period, when America cared little about the education of African Americans and discrimination was law and custom, The Bordentown School was an educational utopia. An incubator for black intellect, Bordentown taught values, disciplines and life skills to generations of black children. The school closed in 1955 in the wake of the Supreme Court Brown vs. Board of Education decision. What was lost and what was gained in the march toward integration and equality?” (PBS- A Place Out of Time: The Bordentown School, May 2010). The Bordentown Manual Training and Industrial School went by many names; it was called The New Jersey Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, Ironsides Normal School, Old Ironsides, and it was also referred to as “The Tuskegee of The North.” Tuskegee University in Alabama was founded by African American educator and leader Booker T. Washington (1856-1915). Washington1 believed African Americans needed vocational and manual skills in order to prosper and “disparaged literature and philosophy as unnecessary for and unsuited to agricultural and industrial2 menials” (Dennis 1998:146). Washington’s biggest nemesis in regards to what constituted as proper education for African Americans was historian, educator and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois3. Du Bois encouraged “the talented tenth” of black people to strive for the highest education possible to uplift and elevate the masses and advance civilizations to come.

    NJS: An Interdisciplinary Journal Summer 2018 99 The Bordentown School as Institution and Idea: The Manual Training and Industrial School Honored Educational Priorities of Washington, Du Bois, and Dewey By Connie Goddard, Ph.D. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14713/njs.v4i2.125 Given its various accomplishments and distinctions, the Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth in Bordentown, New Jersey (which existed from 1886-1955), is surprisingly little known in the state or among historians of education. A state-supported boarding school for boys and girls, it combined a solid academic program with practical work experience through a highly structured school day and a dedicated faculty that also lived on campus. Its mission was to direct students, many from unstable backgrounds, into stable jobs or further education. Though frequently called “Tuskegee of the North,” the school as led by long-time principal William R. Valentine was arguably influenced as much by John Dewey, who in a 1915 book about progressive education had praised another school Valentine headed earlier. As a meeting place for black cultural leaders in the state from the 1920s through the 1940s, the school also exposed its students to avenues through life that could enable them to become leaders themselves. Thus, the school can be viewed as manifesting the priorities articulated by Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois, as well as by Dewey. When, in the summer of 1915, a new principal arrived in Bordentown to head the Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth (MTIS), he came with some distinctive qualifications.

  • 4 the Journal of The
    4 THE JOURNAL OF THE A HISTORY OF AFRO-AM ERIC ANS IN NEW JERSEY BY LA. GREENE Professor Greene is Chairman of the History Department at Seton Hall University Preface Far too many residents of New Jersey believe the present conditions of race relations and the status of Afro-Americans characterize not only the contemporary era but also the past. Today, a number of New Jersey municipalities have black mayors and representatives in the state legisla- ture, but less well known is the disenfranchisement of blacks in the pre- Civil War era. Today, despite a significant gap between black and white incomes, blacks are employed as unskilled laborers, in skilled jobs, and as professionals. Yet in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, most New Jersey Afro-Americans were in the bondage of slavery. July 4, 1776, stimulates memories of Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and other heroes of the American Revolution, but few have heard of Prince Whipple or Jack Cudjo, black Jerseyans who served the patriot military cause during the Revolution. Nor has July 4,1804, the date New Jersey's gradual abolition of slavery law took effect, been imprinted in the collective memory of the state's citizens. If our knowledge of the history of Afro-Americans in New Jersey contains such omissions, it is my hope that this work will generate new knowledge and interest in this too-often ignored or only faintly understood topic. This study covers in six sections the Afro-American experience in the state from the colonial period to the present. The first section will focus on the origins and growth of African slavery.

  • The Education of African Americans in Southern New Jersey from 1920-1945
    ACCUMULATION OF KNOWLEDGE: THE EDUCATION OF AFRICAN AMERICANS IN SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY FROM 1920-1945 by JANET E. ALLEN A dissertation submitted to The Graduate School of Education Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Graduate Program in Social and Philosophical Foundations of Education Approved by _____________________________ Catherine A Lugg, Ph.D., Chairperson _____________________________ James Giarelli, Ph.D., Committee _____________________________ Louis Ray, Ph.D., Committee New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2011 ABSTRACT Research Question: What individuals, institutions and organizations were instrumental in the development of the educational philosophy for African Americans in Southern New Jersey from 1920-1945? Methodology: This dissertation employed oral history in the qualitative tradition using video recording equipment. Data were gathered from twelve participants representing nine family groups and four southern New Jersey Counties. The data were coded and analyzed to determine common and distinct themes which influenced the participants’ individual and collective educational experiences. Findings: South Jersey, bordering Delaware, Maryland and Virginia inherited their racial attitudes from their southern neighbors. These southern ideologies were reflected in the types of schools available to black children during that era. The findings were as follows. 1. The participants all attended public schools in South Jersey. The grammar schools were segregated; and those who attended high school attended integrated schools or The Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth at Bordentown. 2. The participants’ parents who had greater socio-economic status than their peers and/or had cultural and social capital were able to orchestrate their children’s education.

BACKGROUND: It was called the “Tuskegee of the North,” although it was formally known as the New Jersey Industrial and Manual Training School for Colored Youth. Eventually, it was best known simply as the Bordentown School, a leader in black education from Reconstruction until the 1950s. Founded in 1876, Bordentown was a boarding school for boys and girls in grades 6 through 12. With its 400-acre Georgian style campus, Bordentown could be mistaken for an elite private boarding school. But it was actually a co- educational public school operated by the State of New Jersey which, in addition to studying traditional academic subjects, taught students how to operate farm equipment, maintain buildings, prepare meals, and work in the beauty industry.
