Lucille Turner McCottry, Avery Normal Institute graduate, Class of 1907, ca. 1907, courtesy of the Avery Research Center. McCottry is wearing a graduation dress she made with the help of her older sister. Prior to 1919, a citywide ordinance prevented Black teachers from working in Charleston's Black public schools. Avery graduates who pursued teaching before that time, such as McCottry and Septima Poinsette, had two options: apply for a position at private schools like Avery or find work teaching outside of the city.
