A student that goes to or went to Spelman Seminary wrote this article. It shows the complete accuracy of Alice Walker when describing the start of Spelman. Two white women from New England who wanted to help other women of a “needy race” started Spelman Seminary. The school started in the basement of a local preacher’s church, Friendship Baptist Church. The article describes the growth of the school and the popularity that it gains.
