The Woodstock Manual Labor Institute was established in 1844 in Woodstock, Lenawee County, Michigan, by Prior (sometimes spelled Prier) Foster<\/a>.[1] The Institute received its official charter in 1848, when it gained greater notoriety and remained active through the mid-1850s.[2,3] According to Foster, the Woodstock Manual Labor Institute was the first school of its kind to receive an official charter from the state legislature.[4] The school was strategically placed; Michigan had more progressive rights for African Americans compared to many other states at the time. As Foster himself proclaimed, African Americans in Michigan enjoyed \u201call the rights of the whites, except that of suffrage; and I hope this will not long be denied.\u201d[5]<\/p>\n

The first teacher at the school, recruited by Foster, was a woman named Thalia E. Strong.[6] Woodstock Manual Labor Institute was inclusive: \u201cThe doors of this institute were thrown open to all desirous of securing an education, irrespective of color, sex, or religious affiliations\u2026\u201d[7] The school was meant to be an educational haven for not only African Americans, but for their allies as well.<\/p>\n

The Woodstock Manual Labor Institute was situated on roughly five hundred acres of land, with eight buildings, including a library with fourteen hundred volumes, and seventy acres of the school\u2019s property were used for cultivation by students.[8,9] Students could either pay tuition fees or earn their room and board by performing manual labor. However, the Woodstock Manual Labor Institute also offered a more academic curriculum, such as chemistry, philosophy, algebra, history, grammar, music lessons, and a variety of languages.[10] Foster believed that through both intellectual education and manual labor, the Woodstock Institute would provide African Americans better career opportunities, increased earning potential, and therefore, more power.<\/p>\n
