ooker T. Washington, in the Introduction of William Holtzclaw’s book, The Black Man’s Burden, concluded that the book is not just a story of an individual or a school but an important chapter in the history of Negro education.

William Holtzclaw was a significant part of Washington’s “Tuskegee Machine”the powerful network of supporters and Tuskegee graduates, who advanced the civil rights needs of Black people. Tuskegee educated men and women – prepared in head, heart, and hands – were challenged by Washington to go into rural communities and educate the illiterate Blacks, who were freed physically from the institution of slavery but mentally enslaved as a result of being denied the right to an education. Holtzclaw chose to settle in the Black Belt Region, where millions of Blacks were taken in a forced migration as enslaved laborers for the region's cotton plantations.

William Henry Holtzclaw, born 1870, in Roanoke, AL and attended Tuskegee Institute, did found in 1903, the Utica Normal and Industrial Institute for Coloreds in Utica, Mississippi.

The word normal was part of the naming of schools at that time; normal meant that the school was created to train students to be teachers. Its purpose was and still is to establish teaching standards or norms, hence its name. Most such schools are now called teachers' colleges; however, in some places, the term normal school is still used.

Booker T. Washington, head of Tuskegee Institute and mentor of William H. Holtzclaw.

he Utica Normal and Industrial Institute Exhibit opened in February 2012, 109 years after the founding of Utica Institute. Through a series of snapshots of leaders and faculty, students, important letters/ documents, facilities, and torchbearers, the display captures for the viewer 1) the successful journey of Black education in a southern town, 2) the expansion of curricula, facilities and support services, and 3) the impact the school has had on the lives of many Black Americans. ine panels develop the theme, “The History, The Legacy, The Promise”: a) humble beginnings - the struggles of connecting with and building community; b) the hard work of one man to secure funds to support the school across 40 years; c) the transition from high school to college and operating both; d) the move from being an independent, state supported historically black institution to a campus merged with Hinds Community College; e) expansion of the physical plant across the first decade of the 21st Century; and f) the national influence of alumni who championed - and yet champion - causes and provide leadership in other colleges/universities and in health, religion, sports, entertainment, government, and economic development.

1903-1943 – The First Four Decades in the History of Utica

F

or 40 years, 1903 – 1943, William Henry Holtzclaw expanded upon his Tuskegee experience to move toward realizing his vision of releasing the Black man from the burden of ignorance. Humble beginnings of a school in a rented log cabin on 40 acres of land near St. Peter Baptist Church (later purchased 60 additional acres) meant the start of organized community, education for Blacks, ownership of land for homes and farming, and appreciation for teaching and training Blacks in head, heart, and hands.

Holtzclaw found his way to Utica in 1902, primarily because the town was in the heart of the Black Belt, an agricultural region in the American South characterized by a history of plantation agriculture in the 19th and 20th centuries and a high percentage of African Americans in the population who were illiterate.

Holtzclaw, wife Mary Ella and mother Addie, his children and other family members, as well as other Tuskegee graduates served as teachers, support staff, counselors, and community liaisons. Theirs was the task of building students’ character and appreciation for learning/working, to construct buildings to house programs of the curriculum and students/families of employees of the school.

In 1915, two major things happened: (1) Booker T. Washington died; he had visited Utica in 1908, to see the works of his Tuskegee graduate William Holtzclaw; (2) Holtzclaw published the book, The Black Man’s Burden, which was printed at The Utica Institute, making him the first Black man in Mississippi to publish a book.

After graduating from the University of Iowa in 1907, Lawrence Jones became part of the faculty at The Utica Institute; he would later found in 1909, the Piney Woods Country Life School in Rankin County, Mississippi and maintain the same vision as Holtzclaw: “Educating Through Head, Heart and Hands.” By 1909, Holtzclaw had secured funds from Tuskegee and donors in the East to purchase 2000 acres of land; by 1910, the school was moved five miles southwest of the town of Utica.

Holtzclaw’s genius, good human relations skills, and support from local businesses, churches, friends, and family guided Utica Institute until his death at the Holtzclaw Mansion, called Southland, August 27, 1943. Holtzclaw’s mother (age 97) died several weeks before he did. Dr. George Washington Carver, scientist and regular teacher during the Institute’s Farmers’ Conferences, died in the same year as Holtzclaw.

Utica institute traveling Exhibit

U By the end of the Holtzclaw era, the campus was located on 1600 acres of land where it is located at present. Four hundred acres were used for faculty and community homes to be built.

There were 22 teachers, over 400 students, and 14 buildings. But more than any of the aforementioned, Holtzclaw had left a legacy to the students and the world. In his last speech to the graduating class in April 1943, he said: “Go into the rural districts of the South and wrestle with its problems. It will prove gymnastics for your body, exercise for your mind, and balm for your spirit. …I have suffered little because I have had no time to think of my personal ills. My mind I fixed on the cause for which I live and work. I have no time for minor notes. I have long since determined that the tune of my life shall be played in major keys. For this cause I live; for this cause I suffer; for this cause I shall give my life.”

1943 – 1987 – Another Four Decades in the History of Utica

S

uccessors of Holtzclaw caught the vision and strove to lead the institution in continued development of men and women’s abilities to obtain knowledge, hone and shape practical skills, and become significant community and world contributors in education, religion, government and economic development.

Holtzclaw’s son, William Holtzclaw Jr., succeeded him as principal in 1943. Facing difficulties securing funds from private sources to support the school, Holtzclaw Jr. and his mother, Mary Ella Holtzclaw, agreed to donate the school and property to Hinds County. Upon assuming control, the Board of Trustees changed the name to Hinds County Agricultural High School, Colored. J. W. Grantham served as Superintendent of the school from 1947-1951.

From 1951-1957, J. D. Boyd served as Superintendent. Under Boyd’s leadership, the Board of Trustees acted to form a Junior College separate from the high school: Utica Institute Junior College. The word colored was dropped from the name of the high school, Hinds Agricultural High School. In 1957, Dr. Boyd became President of Alcorn College. Mr. Rudolph Waters, who was serving as Dean of Instruction at Utica, became the interim superintendent until one was selected. In this interim, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools accredited Hinds Agricultural High School.

From 1958-1969, Walter Washington led the college in program and facilities expansion. In his first year as superintendent, the Board changed the college’s name to Utica Junior College (dropping Institute), and Washington’s title was changed to president of the college and superintendent of the high school.

Dr. Washington became the first Black person in Mississippi to obtain his doctorate degree from a predominantly white institution, the University of Southern Mississippi. His dissertation title was, “Utica Junior College, 1903-1957: A Half Century of Education for Negroes.”

U In 1969, when Dr. Washington left Utica to become President of Alcorn College, Mr. J. Louis Stokes, who had served as business manager during Washington’s tenure of service, was selected as President.

nder the leadership of President Stokes and the acting presidency of Mr. Arthur Kinnard (1970-1973: Stokes took leave of absence to pursue his doctorate degree), the college experienced growth and expansion of services: student enrollment and curricular offerings/support programs, and physical plant/ transportation services expanded. Holtzclaw’s son, Robert F. Holtzclaw, published the book, William H. Holtzclaw: Scholar in Ebony, in 1977.

During Stokes’ presidency in 1981, the College received $3.5 million in federal funds to construct residence halls on the campus. The residence halls were completed and dedicated in 1983. In 1982, by Federal Court order, Hinds Junior and Utica Junior Colleges merged. Dr. Clyde Muse became President of the Hinds Junior College District, which included all locations of Hinds Jr. College and the former Utica Jr. College. Mr. J. Louis Stokes continued to serve the Utica Campus as Vice President until he retired in 1987.

In 1987, Dr. George E. Barnes became Vice President of the Utica Campus of Hinds Junior College District. In the same year, the MS Legislature changed the name “Junior College” to “Community College” for 14 of the 15 colleges in Mississippi. The new name became Hinds Community College District.

Dr. Barnes had come to Utica in 1962, serving in several capacities at Hinds Agricultural High School and Utica Junior College. At Hinds AHS, he was a mathematics teacher and later became the principal. As time progressed, he became the Academic Dean at Utica Junior College. When Mr. J. L. Stokes took another leave of absence to continue doctoral studies, Dr. Barnes served as Acting President of Utica Jr. College from 1981-82.

Under Dr. Barnes’ leadership as Vice President of Utica Campus and Assistant Superintendent of Hinds AHS, with Dr. Clyde Muse as President of Hinds Community College and Superintendent of Hinds AHS, the Utica Campus moved progressively into the age of technology in the latter years of the 20th Century. Classrooms and open spaces in the library and campus union were converted to computer labs. By 1999, the Amphitheater had been converted to a state-of-the art media presentation center. The first new building since the early 80’s, the Technology Building, was constructed and dedicated in 2000, the beginning of the 21st Century. Radio/TV Broadcast Tech was moved from the library to the technology building.

Page 8

Hinds Community College –Utica Campus - February 2012

Utica institute traveling Exhibit

U The library was renovated internally and converted to a computerized system of cataloguing. The Black Collection, Archives, and Children’s Resource Center were created in the space formerly occupied by the Radio/TV Broadcast Tech program.

Across the next nine years, other buildings were constructed or renovated to allow for program expansion and services to meet the needs of the students and community: Workforce Development Center (2004), Business Incubation Center (2004), Fine Arts Building (2008), and the Health/Wellness Center (renovation of D.W.L. Davis Building, 2010).

Dr. Barnes and the faculty/staff took pride in celebrating the Utica Centennial in 2003. Dr. Roderick Paige, former Utica Jr. College and Hinds AHS football coach and instructor and, at that time, the U. S. Secretary of Education, delivered the Founder’s Day keynote address. All programs and activities centered on the theme, “Embracing the Legacy, Upholding the Promise.” This time served to bring back members of the Holtzclaw family, as well as a long list of alumni who had become torchbearers of the vision/legacy/dream of Holtzclaw & Utica Institute.

During Dr. Barnes’ quarter century of sterling leadership as Vice President/Assistant Superintendent of Hinds AHS and 50 years of service to the Utica Campus and high school, the promise has been upheld. Dr. Barnes has indeed embraced the legacy of Holtzclaw, as well as other Holtzclaw successors, and he continues to forge ahead toward the vision of educating minds for changing the destiny of the people of this Utica community and the world.
