Prudence Crandall was an educator born in 1803 in Rhode Island. In 1831, she opened an academy for wealthy white girls in Canterbury, Connecticut. When she accepted Sarah Harris, a black student, the white families withdrew their daughters. Undaunted, Crandall established the first school for black female students. Her defiance of racism and commitment to equal education made her a pioneer for civil rights. However, her school faced opposition and was closed after 17 months due to harassment and new discriminatory laws. Though short-lived, Crandall's academy was revolutionary and established her as a heroine in the fight for racial equality and women's rights.

11. CONCLUSION
Prudence Crandall was an educator and reformer born in
Hopkinton, R.I. Miss Crandall was of Quaker descent
and daughter of Pardon and Esther Crandall. She
opened an academy on Canterbury Green in
Canterbury, CT located between the towns of Scotland
and Plainfield off 395 (CT Turnpike) in 1831. The
academy was to educate the daughters of wealthy local
families and was a success until a 20 year old black
woman, Sarah Harris was admitted. Sarah’s admittance
led parents to withdraw their daughters. Miss Crandall
then made contacts throughout New England’s free
black communities to attract black women students who
came from Boston, New York City and Philadelphia.
The refusal of Prudence Crandall to send black students
home was an important decision during an equally
important time in history. This decision made her a
heroine and gives her revolutionary status.
