Benezet's School
Benezet's School, also known as the African Free School and the Raspberry Street School, was a Philadelphia school for African Americans. The school was founded by Quaker teacher and abolitionist, Anthony Benezet, in 1770. Classes were held in a number of locations before a dedicated school building opened in 1773. The school was known as both Benezet's School in honor of its founder and Raspberry Street School due to its location.
