Virginia State University Trojan Horse
Sallie Hunt attended Virginia State University, which is a testament to her academic accomplishments. Virginia State University was founded in 1882. It is one of two of Virginia's land-grant universities. It is a historically Black university. In 1920, the school was moved from Hampton Institute, where it had been since the 1870s, to Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. In 1923, the school's college program was restored, and its name was changed to Virginia State College for Negroes.
Robert Hunt Signature
This image depicts Robert Hunt’s signature from his World War II draft registration card. We elected to include this image because his signature serves as a lasting artifact that preserves his distinct writing. Additionally, this artifact captures a lot of key information about Robert at the time, including his Draper address and his employment at the Pulaski Workers Progress Administration office. His handwriting may be reflective of the fact that, according to the 1940 Census records, Robert only attended school through the first grade. Black people faced limited educational opportunities in the rural U.S. South, compounded by the suppression of literacy education perpetrated by the state and federal government. Despite this, he advocated for his daughters to receive quality education by participating in the 1947 Corbin et al. v. County School Board of Pulaski County, VA. et al. lawsuit, which successfully called attention to the inequalities of education for Black students in the area. Overall, Robert Hunt’s support for his daughter's educational pursuits highlights the enduring value of education and literacy in all forms, despite the persistent obstacles faced by Black Americans in accessing education and literacy.
Sallie Hunt and Rosetta Hunt Typed Names
These names represent Sallie and Rosetta Hunt's educational achievements, highlighting their strides due to their father’s sacrifices and support. In the 1940s, an estimated 12–17 percent of adult Black men in the South were illiterate. Many of the Jim Crow-era schools during the early 1900s prioritized occupational trade skills over traditional literary education. In addition, the Federal Census Bureau reported in 1930 that among literate Black men, very few stayed in school past primary education, and almost all had attended segregated Jim Crow schools that did not receive the same funding or resources as their white counterparts. Furthering systemic challenges endured by the community, in which continued educational attainment was overshadowed by the adverse economic circumstances of the Great Depression in the 1930s.

Medical Staff with Wings
Sallie Hunt was employed as a nurse. In the 1950s, Black nurses had few options when it came to becoming licensed health professionals, and many nursing students found themselves struggling under the systematic oppression that occurred during the 1950s in the healthcare and medical field. To this day, there is still a discrepancy in registered nurses in the United States. While around 12 percent of the U.S. population is Black American, only 5 percent of Black Americans account for the registered nurse population.
Coca-Cola Bottle
This symbolizes one of Rosetta’s favorite pastimes—watching TV while drinking Coca-Cola. Founded in 1892, Coca-Cola was originally intended only for white people. It was primarily targeted toward the white middle class in the 1930s, as the company actively avoided targeting the African American market (“The Ugly Racial History of America’s Soft Drink Brands,” 2019). Coca-Cola, whose initial recipe contained cocaine in its soft drinks, was actively against Black consumers drinking it, as medical journals spread fears of the 'Negro Cocaine Menace.' White consumers, on the other hand, were encouraged to drink the soda for its 'uplifting' qualities.
