Artifacts Three Dimensional Items Awarded to or\n         collected by Robert Prentiss Daniel","Robert P. Daniel was elected to become the fifth president\n         of Virginia State University(then Virginia State College)in\n         December of 1949. He assumed his duties in February of 1950.\n         Mr. Daniel however was not a stranger to Virginia State,\n         having been born on the campus in 1902. This strange twist of\n         fate makes Robert P. Daniel the only President of a\n         state-supported institution who was born on the campus, which\n         he would later serve as chief administrator.","The historical background, which explains, this unusual\n         occurrence lay in the origins of the Daniel Family. The roots\n         of this family began in Louisa County Virginia, with Lucy\n         Langston, Robert Daniel's great great grandmother, who was\n         described as being of African and Virginia Indian origins.","Lucy langston lived as the only wife of Ralph Quarles, a\n         white farmer and landholder in Louisa County. Although this\n         was not a legal union(black-white marriages had been outlawed\n         in Virginia in 1692), the two lived as man and wife for more\n         than thirty years.","From this union came four children: Maria (Daniel's great\n         grandmother), Gideon, Charles and John Mercer Langston (who\n         become the first president of Virginia State in 1886-1887.\n         Ralph Quarles had given his common law wife her freedom\n         earlier and all four of these children were born free between\n         the years of 1800-1829.","Maria Langston married early and her proud father gave her\n         a section of his farm as a wedding gift and also from her\n         father she recieved as her personal property her husband\n         Joseph Powell, who was a slave belonging to Ralph Quarles.\n         Maria Langston like other free blacks, (men and women) around\n         the state of Virginia were forced to hold their husbands and\n         or wives as their personal property in order to keep the\n         family unit together.","From this union came Robert Daniel's grandmother Lucinda,\n         who like her mother also married a slave and was forced to\n         hold him as her enslaved property. Charles Daniel, father of\n         Robert Daniel was born in 1845 in Louisa and until around 1870\n         lived with his father and learned his trade in shoemaking.","In 1871 he entered the Richmond Institute graduating from\n         the Normal Department in 1877 and its Academic Department in\n         1878. He studied law for one year at Howard University and\n         then accepted a teaching position in Danville, Virginia.","In 1888 he was invited to become the Secretary of Virginia\n         Normal and Collegiate Institute. It was here in the old\n         Virginia hall that Robert Daniel and all but one of the eight\n         Daniel children were born.","Robert P. Daniel graduated from Virginia Union University\n         in 1924. Later, he obtained his MA and his doctorate at\n         Teachers College. He also completed a post doctoral study in\n         Bible at the Union Theological Seminary in New York during the\n         summers of 1943 and 1946.","Robert Daniel began his career in higher education at\n         Virginia Union University in Richmond as an instructor in\n         mathematics in 1924. Concurrently, Dr. Daniel supervised the\n         establishment of the Norfolk division of Virginia Union\n         University which later became the Norfork division of Virginia\n         State College. He was named president of Shaw University in\n         1936 until 1950.","Dr. Daniel was elected president of Virginia State College\n         by the State Board of Education on December 15th 1949\n         following the death of Luther H. Foster.","Dr. Daniel was an active member of several state and\n         national professional organizations.","The Daniel Papers document primarly his becoming the\n         President of Shaw University in 1936 and Virginia State\n         University in 1950. There is also correspondence concerning\n         his activities with a national radio program \"Wings over\n         Jordan\" and with Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity.In the daniel\n         papers are also some very interesting newsletters printed by\n         the \"Political Action Committee\" of the Petersburg Improvement\n         Association. These newsletters address the attempts to\n         desegrate public facilities in Petersburg.","There are no restrictions.","Personal and business\n         correspondence of the fifth President of Virginia State\n         University. Robert P. Daniel was one of the movers in\n         establishing what is now Norfolk State University.

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.

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.
