In 1865, by the light of a campfire at Fort Bravos, Texas, the members of the 62nd United State Colored Troops discussed their plans for the life after the Civil War. The idea of starting a school for African Americans in Missouri appealed to the troops and soon a movement began to realize their dreams.
