From 1900 to the late 1940s, this was Burlington’s racially segregated elementary school for black students. As a neighborhood school, it remained all black until its closure in the 1960s.
It figured in the celebrated Pierce Case of 1884 when the NJ Supreme Court ruled that the refusal of Burlington’s white schools to admit the four children of Reverend Jeremiah H. Pierce (Bethlehem AME Church, Pearl Blvd.) was a violation of the NJ School Law of 1881.

Final days
Woolman's final journey was to England in 1772. During the voyage he stayed in steerage and spent time with the crew rather than in the better accommodations of the other passengers. He attended the London Yearly Meeting, and the Friends there were persuaded to oppose slavery in their Epistle (letter sent to other Friends in other places). John Woolman went from London to York where he contracted smallpox and died.
Woolman’s wife, Sarah Ellis Woolman is buried in the Mount Holly Friend’s Burial Ground. They married in 1749.A son died in infancy; Daughter Mary lived to adulthood.

John Woolman (October 19, 1720 – October 7, 1772) was an itinerant Quaker preacher, traveling throughout the American colonies, advocating against conscription, military taxation, and particularly slavery.
John Woolman came from a family of Friends (Quakers). His grandfather, also named John Woolman, was one of the early settlers of New Jersey. His father Samuel Woolman was a farmer. Their estate was between Burlington and Mount Holly .
