Thomas Alexander Wood's manuscript, "First Admission of Collored [sic.] Children to Portland Public Schools," is Wood's account of school officials attempting to prevent desegregation in the Portland public school system. In lieu of allowing Black children into schools, school officials suggested to instead give Black families $2.25 per child, per quarter, to hire a private teacher and rent space for homeschooling. The vast discrepancy in financial support the administration was willing to give, in comparison to actual costs needed for private homeschooling, ultimately led to school Directors paying for a separate, segregated, school for Black children to attend, and the case failed to make it to court. The school opened in the fall of 1867.
