For over a century, the college played a significant role in our community and for each of its alumni. It was one of the only two higher-educational institutions for African Americans in East Tennessee prior to the Civil Rights movement. It stood as a landmark in Morristown until it was closed in 1994. Heritage Park now sits as a remembrance of the college and provides recreational space for generations to come. Aerial Image of the new Heritage Park The Heritage Park colonnades The Park features more than 50 acres of wide green spaces for visitors to enjoy. The Great Lawn, which rests at the highest point on the former baseball field, is expected to host other types of special events, like music concerts and community gatherings. The courtyard near the Colonnade will be a great place for movies at the park and special events like weddings. The other two divisions of the park are the Jeff Horner, Bill Thompson and Hamblen educational area and the replica of the Great Colonnade that once County Sheriff Esco Jarnagin with the return of connected two of the college buildings. the Morristown College bell.

  • Methodism's Splendid Mission: the Black Colleges
    Methodist History, 22:3 (April /984) METHODISM'S SPLENDID MISSION: THE BLACK COLLEGES JAMES S. THOMAS In the past, many historians of higher education often accepted the twin generalizations that black colleges, (1) "while collegiate in name, did not remotely resemble a college in standards or facilities,"l and (2) that the history of these colleges, while probably important as early hTi'Ssionary ventures, would hardly rate complete chapters in general histories of higher education. This essay begins as a direct challenge to both points of view. Among otheT propositions, it will be argued (1) that, while the contrast between the facilities and standards ofblack and white colleges is dramatically real, it is by no means an unbroken contrast, and (2) admitting the truth of the missionary beginnings of the early black colleges, there is a much greater story of their survival and their production of a group of leaders whose quality stands high on any national standard of leadership. Indeed, the major purpose of this essay is not to argue a particular point, such as any one of the too-easy generalizations of many historians, but to tell the remarkable story of the black colleges of the United Methodist Church. The Earliest of Foundations The history of the black colleges, like that of all institutional history, J predated the founding of any particular institution. Perhaps it is important 1 for United Methodists to remember, in this bicentennial year, that the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, held very strong views about educa,. tion and the worth of every human being.

In doing so: a Wherever possible agencies should attempt to direct program funds and technical assistance resources towards improving administrative and education infrastructures of historically Black colleges and universities. b In cases where agencies project decreased funding for all higher education institutions, they should strive to increase the percentage share allocated to historically Black colleges and universities consistent with law. c Agencies should continue to eliminate identified unnecessary and irrelevant procedures, prerequisites, and policies to the participation of historically Black colleges and universities in Federal programs and to accelerate activities to single out those policies or regulations which have inhibited full participation in such programs by historically Black colleges and universities. DR 1390-001 January 15, 1985 4 DEFINITIONS Historically Black colleges and universities.

  • Morristown Walking and Driving Tour
    TOUR OVERVIEW This tour was developed as a collaboration between the Center for Historic Preservation at Middle Tennessee State University and the Crossroads Downtown Partnership of Morristown. It is designed in two parts: core sites of downtown Morristown, including a walking tour of the central business district, comprising the first part, and a second part that takes travelers to other parts of Hamblen County along the Andrew Johnson Highway corridor. Special thanks to the Rose Center for the Arts, which provided the historic images from the Noe Collection. HISTORY OF MORRISTOWN At one time, downtown Morristown looked much like any other Main Street in Tennessee, with department stores, dry goods stores, a bank, and various offices. a few hundred yards to the west of the modern commercial core, the current downtown area once served as a watering hole for nearby farms. Turkey Creek, which now runs under 148 W Main St, provided a locus around which a community formed in the mid-19th century. Turkey Creek’s significance derived in part from its proximity to the junction of two major transportation routes: the “Buffalo Trail,” which ran north-south (now Cumberland Street), and the “Great Road” running east-west (now Main Street). Both roads long predated the settlement but became central to its growth over the course of the 19th century. The Buffalo Trail probably originated as an animal path leading to salt licks along the Clinch River, while the Great Road, a stage road connecting Knoxville to Abingdon, Virginia, may have begun as a path used by native peoples prior to colonization.
