Légende

The Reed home and school, Covington, Georgia, 1910. Dinah Watts Pace (1853-1933) was an African-American educator who founded Black schools. Raised as a slave, she received her diploma in education from Atlanta University and gained a nationwide reputation for her charitable work with orphans. With $1000 seed money from Sarah M. Reed (Mrs. A. C. Reed) of Manchester Vermont, Pace built the Reed Home and School, a two and a half-story, ten room facility. She employed three Atlanta University graduates, including her niece Anne Mae Watts, to work at the school. She also founded the Covington Colored Children's Orphanage, which she ran for over forty years.
