American Indian and African American students in chemistry lab at Hampton Institute, 1899. Hampton University is a historically black university located in Hampton, Virginia, United States. The Hampton Agricultural and Industrial School, later called the Hampton Institute, was founded in 1868 after the American Civil War by the black and white leadership of the American Missionary Association, who were chiefly Congregational and Presbyterian ministers. Their goal was to provide education to freedmen. By 1878 it was also teaching Native Americans. A Hampton-style education became well known as an education that combined cultural uplift with moral and manual training. Photographed by Frances "Fannie" Benjamin Johnston (January 15, 1864 - May 16, 1952) was one of the earliest American female photographers and photojournalists. In 1899 she was commissioned to photograph the buildings and students of the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute in order to show its success. This series, documenting the ordinary life of the school, remains as some of her most telling work. It was displayed at the ExposÃ© nÃ¨gre of the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1900.
