In mid-Summer 2015, Payne Theological Seminary partnered with the Greene County Archives & Records Center on a K-12 curriculum and outreach program focusing on local African-American history. Themed lessons include manumission, Wilberforce area family histories and educational opportunities available to African Americans through Wilberforce, Central State, and Payne Theological Seminary.
Payne’s contribution authored by our archival intern and Antioch College student Ciana Ayenu, tells the story of the Seminary's development and change from its founding in 1891 to 1939, when the institution had been established for nearly 50 years. The small exhibit which has just gone “live” features items from the Payne Theological Seminary and A.M.E. Church Archive on the Princeton Theological Commons and un-digitized items from the archives.
