Abstract

More than any other school founded after the Civil War, the Charles Sumner School served as the cornerstone for the development of educational opportunities for black citizens in the District of Columbia. The significance assigned to its design and construction was indicated by the selection of Adolph Cluss as architect for the new building. In 1869, Cluss had completed the Benjamin Franklin School; in 1872, he completed Sumner School; and in 1873, he won a medal for “Progress in Education and School Architecture ” for the City of Washington at the International Exposition in Vienna, Austria. Dedicated on September 2, 1872, the new school was named in honor of United States Senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, who ranked alongside Abraham Lincoln and Thaddeus Stevens in leading the struggle for abolition, integration, and nondiscrimination.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
