Abraham H. Peeler Papers

Born in Greensboro, Abraham H. Peeler (1904-1991) was an important leader in the local African American community for many decades. Perhaps best remembered as the principal of J.C. Price Elementary School from 1931 to 1969, he also maintained a lifelong interest in organized sports and officiated at high school and college football and basketball games for 32 years. This collection is rich in information relating to the local public school system, particularly J.C. Price School, and the evolution of African American education in North Carolina. The digitized items include a minute book from Ashe Street School, photographs of students at Dudley High School, and printed material relating to the NC Negro Teachers Association. The digitized materials pertaining to J.C. Price School include teachers' handbooks compiled by Peeler and numerous images of the school and its students.
