A fact from this article was featured on Wikipedia's Main Page in the On this day section on September 3, 2017.

Focus on the article subject[edit]

There is far too little information about Prudence Crandall in this article about that lady. When forced to move, did she create other schools? This is somewhat unclear. Did she struggle to oppose the laws passed against her schools? The whole is greatly encumbered with far too much interesting information about the nature and mechanisms of American slavery and Connecticut patterns of slavery; this information should, perhaps, be better included under articles under those names.Grantsky (talk) 15:40, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed much of the background information on the history of slavery in Connecticut and established a few sub-headings. Eli.pousson (talk) 18:50, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question[edit]

I've a question. The first section reads "she ran the first school for black girls ("young Ladies and little Misses of color") in the United States"but I think this is both incorrect and misses the mark. Because she was teaching a class of White girls only, and a Black girl/young woman joined them, Prudence Crandall is more properly remembered as teaching the first integrated classroom in the USA. This sentence tends to celebrate the fact that White parents took all their girls out of the classroom--and I am sure that this is not why Ms. Crandall is the Connecticut State heroine. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Christiancrandall (talk • contribs) 16:53, 14 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
