The Washington Revels

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear.
The hour I first believed.

ALL SING!

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

The collections used in today's program were drawn from the Geography and Map, the Prints and Photographs and the Serial and Government Publications Divisions of the Library of Congress. The Nannie Helen Burroughs Papers and the Mary Church Terrell Papers are in the collections of the Manuscript Division.

The Nannie Burroughs school was founded in 1909 under the name the National Training School for Women and Girls. In 1926 the name was changed to the National Trade and Professional School for Women and Girls.
