Established in Rowan County, Ky., in 1911 by Mrs. Cora W. Stewart, Moonlight Schools sought “to emancipate from illiteracy those enslaved in its bondage.” Because people had to labor by day, the schools met on moonlight nights so the moon could light the way, and they were taught by volunteer teachers. The movement soon spread nationally and internationally.
