I Steal School Property

coolchicksfromhistory: Eartha M.M. White and her mother Clara White, Jacksonville, Florida, 1910. A former opera singer, Eartha was instrumental in the construction of the first school for black children in the Bayard neighborhood of Jacksonville.  By living frugally, Eartha was able to contribute to a range of philanthropic causes while working as a schoolteacher.  In 1904, Eartha founded the Clara White Mission in honor of her mother, a former slave who ran a soup kitchen out her home.  Initially founded to serve blacks in segregated Jacksonville, the Clara White Mission today provides social services to people of all races.
