The story map doesn’t have too many locations added into this. The first area mentioned is the old Zionist church, south of the current school’s location. Booker T. Washington talked about how this was a shanty little place and secured for the school.¹ Following the year, the school would eventually be moved north to the old abandoned Miller Plantation. This 100 acre land was acquired and became the new and permanent location for the school.² Within 25 years, the school had grown from a small 100 acre land, to more than 2000 acres, 83 buildings, and more than a thousand students taking classes at the school.³ The next location is the Veterans Association Medical Center, founded by Dr. Robert Moton, with land donated to the school to create it.⁴ Last but not least, is the founding of the Tuskegee Airmen and their airfield at Moton Airfield, named after the second President of the Tuskegee Institute.⁵
