Union Literary Institute, Educational institution in Randolph County, Indiana, US
The Union Literary Institute operated on 174 acres of land, with 100 acres dedicated to farming activities and facilities for male and female students.
Founded in 1846 by abolitionist Quakers and free blacks, this school emerged as a response to Indiana's 1843 law prohibiting black students from public education.
Students published The Students' Repository quarterly magazine from 1863 to 1864, addressing educational topics and social improvements through written contributions.
The manual labor educational model required students over 14 to work four hours daily in agricultural tasks to offset their tuition costs.
This educational center stood as the first institution in Indiana accepting both black and white students, with three quarters of its student population being African American.
