Prudence Crandall was an American schoolteacher and activist. She ran the first school for black girls in the United States. When Crandall admitted Sarah Harris, a 20-year-old African-American female student in 1832 to her school, she had what is considered to be the first integrated classroom in the United States.
She was great, great, Aunt on my father's side of the family. She was burned out of her home more than once but didn't give up on her dream to educate young African American women.
