Stowe Teachers College and Harriet Beecher Stowe Teachers College should link here
Sumner Normal School (1890[citation needed]-1954) was established in St. Louis, Missouri to train black teachers. In 1929, its name was changed to Stowe Teachers College (Harriet Beecher Stowe Teachers College).
Florence Beatty-Brown was a Sociology professor at the college.[1]
History
[edit]A Normal School was added to Sumner High School in 1890.[2]
In its early years it was known as the Cottage Avenue School and was on Cottage and Pendleton.[3] According to a campus history page posted for Harris-Stowe State College, its name was changed in 1929 to Stowe Teachers College, after author Harriet Beecher Stowe whose novel Uncle Tom's Cabin promoted the abolitionist cause in the antebellum United States. Harris-Stowe State College has records related to the school.[4]
The school closed in 1954 in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education[5] and was consolidated into Harris State College. After activism, the college was renamed Harris-Stowe College in the late 1970s to recognize the history of Stowe Teachers College.[6]
