Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William & Mary have identified a small, white building tucked away on the William & Mary campus as the structure that once housed the Williamsburg Bray School, an 18th-century institution dedicated to the education of enslaved and free Black children. The structure is likely the oldest extant building in the United States dedicated to the education of Black children.
