 African American Registry: Berea College, an educational hallmark!
Founder John G. Fee, a passionate abolitionist, declared that Berea was founded "in the midst of many privations and persecutions to preach and apply a gospel of impartial love..." Guided by this inclusive Christian message, Berea's founders had a vision of a college and a community committed to interracial education, to the Appalachian region.
This heritage compelled Berea College to serve all persons regardless of race, creed, color, gender, or class and led the College to draw its students from two immediate communities: African-Americans freed by the American Civil War and "loyal" white mountaineers.
A significant distinction in the Berea mission is that rather than following the typical tuition-based model, the College early on developed a work program so that its students could take advantage of a private liberal arts education-a tuition-free education otherwise unaffordable to them.
