to be successful in America was by being well-educated. She also believed that
in order for the race to continue, its women must be educated as well. Ms. Laney's
students studied the classics, Latin, Algebra, and various trades. Ms. Laney produced
well-rounded young adults who also studied the arts and music and participated
in sports. Ms. Laney ensured that students who graduated from Haines Normal were
ready to compete in society. In addition to starting her own school, the Haines
Normal and Industrial Institute, Ms. Laney started the first black kindergarten
in Augusta, Georgia and the first black nursing school in the city, the Lamar
School of Nursing. Resident Hall Director:
