About The body of scholarship about American schoolgirl needlework documents the many teachers and schools offered instruction in making samplers to white girls, but only in recent years have scholars unearthed evidence of a small number of schools where decorative needlework was also taught to black girls. The best known were in Baltimore, most particularly the schools run by the Oblates, well documented by Gloria Seaman Allen in her book, A Maryland Sampling: Girlhood Embroidery, 1738-1860. Besides the surviving examples from the Baltimore schools, samplers made by black girls are rare. Examples have been found in Connecticut, a very plain marking sampler done by a black girl in Ohio, one worked at the Convent of Mount Carmel established in New Orleans in 1838 to educate young girls of color, and another Williamsburg (now part of Brooklyn), New York, probably in the 1850s. And Kathleen Staples and Kimberly Ivey have found that southern black girls received needlework instruction, though no documented examples have been identified. ---excerpted and adapted from ENDNOTES: AFRICAN AMERICAN SCHOOLGIRL EMBROIDERY by Eleanor H.
