He became the first principal of the institution, which in 1890 was incorporated as the Saint Paul’s Normal and Industrial School by the Virginia Assembly.  On the first day of class in 1888, the school had fewer than a dozen students in attendance.  Russell remained principal of Saint Paul’s Normal until his retirement forty years later in 1928.</p><p>Russell argued that a school was needed to train African American teachers in Virginia and across the South.  Although a number of other black colleges had been founded with the same mission, Russell believed that more institutions were needed to carry on this work and that the Episcopal Church should support this endeavor.  </p><p>Despite the early desire to train teachers, Saint Pauls earliest students were in enrolled in what was essentially a vocational high school that taught basic skills and trades.  A collegiate department of teacher training was finally established in 1922 and accredited by the Virginia State Board of Education in 1926.

He took private voice lessons before entering Howard University where he was coached by the distinguished African American baritone Todd Duncan, and graduated with a degree in music in 1941. Winters was Duncan’s understudy for the role of Porgy in the 1942 Broadway revival of George Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess. During the turbulent years of World War II, he was an Army sergeant serving stateside at Fort Huachuca where his bass-baritone voice was put to good use on ceremonial occasions.

In between NYCO engagements, he concertized in the West Indies, Central America, Brazil, and Europe where he launched his international tours in Berlin in 1949 and joined the Royal Swedish Opera in 1950. One reporter recalled: &ldquo;Winters was a tall, handsome man who strode impressively across the operatic and Broadway stages…. (He) received widespread acclaim from music critics and thunderous ovations from his audiences.&rdquo; A Swiss critic observed: &ldquo;To a German-speaking singer, who struggles with difficulties of declamation and other imperfections, one could not recommend a better model than this Negro baritone, who feels so much at home</p></a>

At</p><p> age 13, she did domestic work for a family who let her use their library. Soon she</p><p>began to write her own poetry and in 1854 her collection of verse and prose, Forest</p><p>Leaves, was published. </p><p>When she moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to teach in the early 1850s, she joined the fight against</p><p>slavery with her writings. As she became more involved in the anti-slavery movement, she became an</p><p>effective speaker whose sense of humor could draw large audiences. In 1854, she toured Canada and her</p><p>writings appeared frequently in the Provincial Freeman, an antislavery newspaper. In 1859, she became</p><p>the first Black American to publish a short story, The Two Officers. Her novel, Iola Leroy or Shadows</p><p>Uplifted, which was published in 1892, made her the second Black woman to have a novel published in</p><p>the United States.</p></a>

His father was a white oyster fisherman named Charles Mitchell; his mother was a young black house slave whose name is unknown to us.  We do not know anything about the relationship between Charles Mitchell senior and the house slave, but it may have been consensual or even loving since the boy was named for his father. In any case, slavery ran through the female line, and so Charles Mitchell was born a slave, despite his father’s freedom.  </p><p>Slaves had been born, toiled, and died at Marengo Plantation for more than 150 years. Marengo had been named by the grandson of the plantation’s founder, Jacob Gibson, in admiration for a victory of Napoleon Bonaparte. The Gibson family presided over Marengo, and the plantation’s fields grew tobacco profitably until the soil was depleted. The land was then switched to wheat. In about 1800, there were three dozen slaves on Marengo Plantation; in the 1850 slave census, there were thirteen.  Charles Mitchell’s mother was one of them, the personal servant of Mistress Rebecca Gibson; the two women had grown up together.</p><p>It is likely that the young black woman’s sister, parents, and grandparents, along with Charles, were all living as a family within the slave quarters.  During the great cholera epidemic of 1850, Charles’ mother fell ill and died. According to Gibson family tradition, Rebecca Gibson asked the dying woman what she could do for her. &ldquo;Take care of my Charlie,&rdquo; was her reply, and Rebecca answered, &ldquo;I will.&rdquo;  </p><p>The Gibson</p></a>

His parents had been brought by Joseph Weisiger from Kentucky to Texas in 1853. In 1870 the Ellis parents had gained their freedom and relocated to Victoria, Texas, where they established a home for themselves and their seven children.</p><p>In his youth, William Henry Ellis attended school in Victoria with his sister, Fannie, while his other siblings held full-time jobs as laborers or servants. Sometime during his teenage years, Ellis learned to speak fluent Spanish.</p><p>During his early twenties, Ellis was employed by William McNamara, a cotton and hide dealer, and constantly conducted business with Spanish-speaking businessmen. Eventually, Ellis made a name for himself in the trade. Around 1887, Ellis settled permanently in San Antonio, Texas, and began calling himself &ldquo;Guillermo Enrique Eliseo,&rdquo; spreading a fabricated story of his Cuban and Mexican ancestry in newspapers and social circles to conceal his real racial identity, thus enjoying some of the freedoms other African Americans could not experience at the time. He balanced these two identities for the rest of his life.</p><p>By the early 1890s, Ellis was swept into Texas politics. In 1888 he gave a speech in support of Norris Wright Cuney that landed Ellis an appointment to the Texas Republican Party’s Committee on Resolutions. By 1892, Ellis was nominated to represent the 83rd District in the Texas Legislature but lost the election to A.G. Kennedy, a white Democrat. Ellis would never seek public office again.</p><p>As time went on, Ellis began embracing ideas of African American colonization abroad, especially in Mexico. He was once quoted as saying, &ldquo;Mexico has no race prejudice from a social standpoint.&rdquo; Twice during the 1890s, Ellis attempted to create a colony for blacks in Mexico from the southern United States. Both attempts would fail. The first, started in 1889, fell</p></a>
