Large\n student enrollments, new school facilities with drama and\n music departments, gymnasiums and athletic fields, science\n departments, student newspapers and other organized school\n activities increased the demand of the students and the\n community for an adequte program of supervised and organized\n interschool group relationahip and competitions which would\n contribute to the fullest development of the high school\n student.","at the urging of the African-American high school\n principals Association, Virginia State College requested the\n general Assembly to appropriate a budget for a central\n coordinating agency.

Because\n there was support being provided for the Virginia High School\n League, A white student activities program administered\n through the University of Virginia.","In 1954, the General Assembly provided an allocation in the\n budget of Virginia State College for the administration of a\n state-wide activities program in the African-Americans high\n school of the state.","This budget, which was administered by VSTL through the\n field services division, did not include provision for the\n operation of the activities which were supported by student\n membership fees in the high school having membership in the\n Association. The Legislature support was discontinued in 1969\n after the Virginia Interscholastic association was merged with\n the Virginia High School league as Virginia no longer operated\n seperate black and white school system.","Minutes, Reports, Correspondence, and Photographs, Printed\n items and three-dimensional items documenting the programs and\n activities of the African American secondary schools during\n the Era of segregation in Virginia.

The Person of record was James Colson (1768-1824) who\n had been enslaved by a William Nelson of York County Virginia.\n He was emancipated in Williamsburg around 1791 and it is\n certain that by 1794 James Colson was living in Petersburg\n Virginia.","James Colson became a barber. This was one of the\n occupations free African American men were allowed to engage\n in. In 1804, Colson purchased a lot on Union Street and around\n 1820 another piece of property on Oak Street. James Colson\n died in 1825 and his son William took over the Business. In\n 1826 William Colson married Sarah Elebek. One of five children\n fathered by Major Elebek. Elebek like Colson was also a barber\n and a free African American.","William Colson became interested in the American\n Colonization Society's (1817-1895) efforts to remove to Africa\n all African Americans to what would become Liberia. At this\n time in Petersburg the Colson and Elebek families were members\n of the Methodist Church. Here they met another family by the\n name of Roberts. The Roberts and Colson family combined and\n formed a mercantile business, and Roberts and his family\n emigrated to Liberia. William Nelson Colson remained in\n Petersburg and managed the business from the U.S. side. In\n 1835 William Colson went to Liberia to confer with Roberts\n where he became ill and died.","Three children came from the Union of William and Sarah\n Elebek Colson. James Major, Mary Alexena and William Nelson\n Colson. Mary Alexena Colson married John K. Shore and William\n Nelson married Milvina and moved to Boston, Massachusetts.\n James Major Colson married Fannie Meade Bolling of Petersburg\n in 1850. Nine children were born to this couple.","The other component of this family were a mixture of free\n African American and enslaved family. John Henry Hill was born\n in King and Queen county Virginia in 1828. Like many others\n born into bondage, Hill was trained as a carpenter and was\n hired out by his owner. Although a native of King and Queen,\n Hill was either sold or rented out in Petersburg and in1853\n was owned by a John Mitchell. Hill had also married a free\n African American woman, Rose McCray and they were the parents\n of two young sons.","Hill was enslaved and in 1853 his owner had decided to sell\n him. It is unclear how Hill found out. His possible sale and\n instead of being sold, he escaped. Hill found his way to\n Canada where his wife later joined him, and the seven Hill\n daughters were born. After the Civil War Hill returned to\n Petersburg, became a prosperous Businessman and engaged in\n local politics.","Edna Meade Colson was born October 7, 1888, in Petersburg,\n Virginia, the oldest of five children to James Major Colson,\n Jr., and his wife Kate Hill Colson who was one of the\n daughters of John Henry Hill.","Included in these materials is an interesting letter from\n William Still and in the Alice and Henry Colson Jackson Papers\n correspondence regarding the House of Roberts and Colson.","Edna Meade Colson was a product of the Petersburg public\n school system.
