We took a day trip in the St. Mary's County heat to Drayden, MD. Along the way, we visited the Drayden African American Schoolhouse, Dennis Point Marina and a local field of sunflowers in Ridge.
1890-1944
40 or more students in one room, grades 1-7
The school opened late so the students could work on the farm (even if they didn't want to). The teachers were paid much less and the students received much less funding for their schooling than the white schools.
The door was locked, but I took a brief peak inside the window. Even with a polarizing filter, there was still a lot of glare.
