Today we went to the Charlotte Hawkins Brown museum, which is what used to be the school Dr. Brown ran. The school was called Palmer Memorial Institute and was a major school for black children that held kids k-12. The Charlotte Hawkins Brown museum is the only historical site for a women in the whole of North Carolina. We took a tour of the school grounds, seeing where Dr. Brown stayed, where the children’s dorms, the cafeteria, and the recreational places located around the campus such as the fields and gymnasium. We ended the day with watching “Fireheart”, an animated movie about a girl who wanted to be a firefighter all her life but couldn’t because she was a women; she comes up with a plan to dress up as a man and join the force.
