John Gregg Fee
John Gregg Fee was the founder of Berea College.
Fee was born in Germantown, Kentucky in Bracken County, Kentucky on September 9, 1816, the son of slaveholders. Following a conversion to the Christian faith, Fee became a stauch abolitionist. He received an education at Augusta College in Bracken County, Kentucky, Miami University of Ohio, and Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio. Fee returned to Kentucky, preaching against slavery, and with a land donation from Cassius M. Clay, founded Berea, Kentucky. He then founded Berea College, which became the first interracial college in the state. [1] In 1859, a band of armed men raided Berea while Fee was away, and the town was deserted. Fee lived in exile until 1864. The school then became increasingly integrated until a new president, William Goodell Frost, shifted focus toward white Appalachian students. [2] Fee died in 1901.
