DO NOT ENTER THE CITY OF RALEIGH. IT IS TIME FOR THE BOY AQUARIUM TO DO A TOUR OF THE TOWN WITH THIER SHINY CUP

John Chavis (1763 -June 15, 1838 ) was a prominent and remarkable figure in early American history, born into a free Black family around 1763. His life's work as a preacher and educator makes him a significant historical figure, especially considering the time period in which he lived.

Chavis was born in either Virginia or North Carolina to free parents. While little is known for certain about his childhood, it is believed he may have been an indentured servant for a period, which might have given him access to education through his employer's library.

Chavis served as a soldier in the American Revolutionary War, enlisting in the Fifth Virginia Regiment. His service as a free Black man fighting for the American cause is a powerful part of his legacy.

He is widely considered the first African American to attend college in the United States. He studied at what is now Princeton University as a private student of the college's president, John Witherspoon, and later attended Washington Academy (now Washington and Lee University).

Chavis was ordained as a Presbyterian minister and was highly respected as a preacher. He was also a renowned educator who opened a private school in Raleigh, North Carolina. His school was unusual and groundbreaking for the time because he taught both Black and white students, often in separate sessions. His white students came from some of the most prominent families in the state.

After the Nat Turner Rebellion in 1831, North Carolina passed laws that severely restricted the rights of free Black people, including making it illegal for them to preach or teach. This forced Chavis to close his school and retire from his public ministry. Despite these setbacks, his legacy endures. He is celebrated as a testament to intellectual achievement and perseverance in the face of systemic racism, and his name is honored in North Carolina through landmarks like the John Chavis Memorial Park in Raleigh.
