“Milla Granson, also known as Lily Ann Granderson, was born into slavery in 1816. She learned to read and write at a young age, and committed her life to teaching others. Mississippi law prohibited black literacy, so Milla Granson established a Midnight School for slaves, teaching 12 students at a time by candlelight from 11 PM to 2 AM. Once a student successfully learned to read and write, they were graduated to make room for another. Over seven years, Milla Granson taught hundreds at tremendous risk to their lives in her Midnight School. She continued to teach from Emancipation until her death some time after 1880.”
