These pictures, taken at Claflin University in Orangeburg, SC, were reportedly displayed as part of the American Negro exhibit at the Paris Exposition of 1900.

Thank you!
These pictures have generated an excitement for my continued research.
My grandmother, Willa Lenard-Hancock, attended Claflin University in the early 1900's.
This is great!
Peace & Blessings,

Oh wow George, your grandmother was there? How cool.
I've been wanting to build this page with SC, GA and FL pictures for some time and finally had a chance to do so.
Happy to know it is increasing their exposure for researchers! — Toni :0)
