HAMPTON INSTITUTE. Hampton, My Home by the Sea. Large, leather-bound scrapbook, 14 x 10 inches, the title deeply embossed into the front cover; quite thick, with scores of photographs, programs, clippings, sporting events, dances etc.; belonging to Paul Miller, class of 1929. should be seen. Hampton, VA, 1925-1929
a scrap book with exceptional content, recording a student's experiences from 1925-through 1929. A treasure trove of Hampton ephemera, with all sorts of unusual memorabilia. A broadside "We Demand An Explanation!" printed in red demands the ouster of a white teacher for "discourtesy and boorishness," not to mention his "luring certain women to his room." The photographs identify people at the Institute as well as fellow students.
