Rev. John Gregg Fee, Founder of Berea College, Inducted into the National Abolition Hall of Fame
The National Abolition Hall of Fame and Museum, located in Peterboro NY, recently inducted four new members of its Abolition Hall of Fame. One of the new inductees, Rev. John Gregg Fee, founder of Berea College in Kentucky, is the first white Southerner to be inducted into the Hall. The scion of a slaveholding family, Rev. Fee became an ardent abolitionist and founded the Berea Institute (later Berea College) in 1855 as the first interracial and coeducational college in the South.
