Laurence C. Jones
Laurence Clifton Jones (November 21, 1882 – July 13, 1975),〔Longden, Tom. "(Jones, Laurence Clifton )." ''Des Moines Register''. September 3, 2008. Retrieved 12/4/13.〕 was the founder and long-time president of Piney Woods Country Life School in Rankin County, Mississippi. A noted educational innovator, Jones spent his adult life supporting the educational advancement of rural African-American students in the segregated South.
==Early life==
Jones came from a family of educators, with an uncle who founded the Woodstock Manual Labor Institute in Michigan in 1846.〔(1996) ''Encyclopedia of African-American Education''. Greenwood Press. p 55.〕 Before he was married to her, his future wife was the founder of the Grace M. Allen Industrial School for African American students in Burlington, Iowa.
After graduating from the University of Iowa in 1908 Jones turned down an offer to teach at the prestigious Tuskegee Institute in Alabama,〔De Ramus, B. (2005) ''Forbidden Fruit: Love Stories from the Underground Railroad.'' Simon and Schuster. p 118.〕 instead opting to teach at the small Utica Institute, a school for African American children located in Utica, Mississippi. While he was there he was recruited by the congregation of St. John's Baptist Church of D'Lo, Mississippi to found a school. The efforts of the church to start a school for their children had been initially checked by white residents of the area.
