Historical Background
An announcement from the Apopka Negro Business League's September 6, 1935, meeting. This typewritten slip of paper might have been distributed as a newsletter throughout Apopka's Black business district. This announcement details the upcoming opening of a school for Black Americans on September 9, 1935. The trustees are notably listed as William Gladden Sr., Ed Richardson, and Barnes- perhaps, Tom Barnes. The staff was also named in this announcement: Leroy Gregg was to be principal, Mrs. A. L. Rogers as assistant principal, Miss Thelma Weaver as an intermediate instructor, and Miss Edith Henry as a primary educator.
