SUMMARY:Historical Marker Dedication: The Montmollin Building and Bryan Sch
 ool
DESCRIPTION:The Georgia Historical Society will hold a dedication for a new
  historical marker: The Montmollin Building and Bryan School. The dedicati
 on will take place on Wednesday\, April 10\, 2024\, at 2:00 p.m.\, near 23
  Barnard Street in Savannah\, Georgia. The event is open to the public.\n\
 nThe marker reads:\nThe Montmollin Building and Bryan School\nBanker and s
 lave trader John S. Montmollin commissioned the adjacent building (c.1856)
  for his business. After Montmollin’s death\, Alexander Bryan continued 
 using the building to hold and sell enslaved people. When US General Willi
 am T. Sherman captured Savannah in December 1864\, the US government\, imp
 lementing emancipation\, confiscated the building and provided it to Savan
 nah’s African-American community\, which formed the Savannah Educational
  Association (SEA) to fund and establish schools. This building became the
  site of Bryan School. On January 10\, 1865\, at the school’s opening\, 
 hundreds of Black children marched here from First African Baptist Church.
  SEA schoolchildren publicly showcased their knowledge of grammar\, histor
 y\, geography\, arithmetic\, and other subjects in July 1865. The American
  Missionary Association\, a northern benevolence organization\, absorbed S
 EA and founded the Beach Institute in 1867\, consolidating several schools
 \, including Bryan School.\nErected by the Georgia Historical Society and 
 the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Savannah
