Lucy Craft Laney
Lucy Craft Laney (April 13, 1854 – October 24, 1933) was an early African-American educator who in 1883 founded the first school for black children in Augusta, Georgia. She was principal of the Haines Institute for Industrial and Normal Education for 50 years. Jimmy Carter as governor selected her portrait to hang in the Georgia State Capitol.
==Early life==
She was born free as one of ten children in Macon, Georgia, on April 13, 1854, to Louisa and David Laney. Her parents were both former slaves, but her father had saved enough money to buy his freedom and that of his wife years before. Both of her parents were strong believers in education and were very giving to strangers; this upbringing would strongly influence Laney in her life. At the time of her birth it was illegal for blacks to read; however with the assistance of Ms. Campbell, the slave owner’s sister, she learned to read at age four. She attended a mission school run by the AMA. In 1869 she entered Atlanta University, where she prepared to be a teacher.
