| History
|
In 1873, Bennett College had its beginning in the unplastered basement of the Warnersville Methodist Episcopal Church
(now known as St. Matthew’s Methodist Church). Seventy young men and women started elementary and secondary level
studies. In 1874 the Freedmen’s Aid Society took over the school which remained under its auspices for 50 years.
Within five years of 1873, a group of emancipated slaves purchased the present site for the school. College level
courses and permanent facilities were added. In 1926, The Women’s Home Missionary Society joined with the Board of
Education of the church to make Bennett College in Greensboro, N.C., formerly co-educational, a college for women.
The challenges that were overcome to establish Bennett demand that today’s challenges be met and overcome to ensure her
survival.
