EDUCATION

EDUCATION
PB Hines Foundation
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Examining all of the documents of land purchases, Pompey B. Hines’ signature on those documents was that of an X. It is not a great revelation that Pompey B. Hines could not read nor write, the slave master did not have a need for an educated slave. Despite this handicap he became a successful farmer and somewhere alone the was he learned to count money. At the time of his death in 1919 his estate was conservatively valued at $7731.12.

Some time during his journey he probably that that if he could read and write then there would not be any limitations on what he could archive. Early on Pompey realized that education is the key to prosperity. At a time when 5-6 years of schooling was a sufficient education for black children, Pompey decided that his baby girl would attend high school, she would attend Dorchester Academy.

In the early 1900 the State of Georgia did not provide high school education for black children, the AME Church operated (2) high schools in the State of Georgia for black children. One of the schools was located in Liberty County Georgia, it was the prestigious Dorchester Academy.

In this family of (17) children, Esther was considered to be highly educated and this set a precedent among her siblings . He brother James E. Hines, Sr. wanted his (3) children to educated like his sister Esther and they were, all (3) of his children graduated from Dorchester Academy. His son James E. Hines, Jr. was the first to attend college.

It started with my grand father, Pompey, and each succeeding generation has raised the bar. In a short span of 50 years the descendants has obtained more than 150 COLLEGE DEGREES. I anticipate that the young descendants of Pompey B. Hines will review the names of those who have received a college degree in the family and will be inspired to continue our family tradition of making education a top priority.

FAMILY TREE

DESCENDANTS of POMPEY B. HINES

" Your complexion may be light, medium, or dark
Your hair may be kinky,curly, or straight
Your religion may be Muslim, Catholic, or Baptist
As you can see, we are a very diverse group
Yet we have one thing in common
We are the descendants of Pompey B. Hines
We are one, We are Family "
Bud Hines


Our Family is like that of an acorn that was left unattended in a field of tall grass, it has been trampled on and moved around a bit . The winter was harsh and yet it endured but now its spring and the showers are nourishment, the sun is warm with the colors of the rainbow. A root sprouts and takes hold in the moist soil, a stem appears and reaches for the sky , a tree is born . It is not any tree it's an oak tree.

Pompey was born a slave after the civil War, life was a little unsettling, he moved around a bit, the 1870 Census revealed in Willie , Ga., a small farming community in Liberty County Ga.. and this is where he put his roots down, this is where our family tree starts to grow .

Like an Oak tree our family is deeply rooted in Christianity , it is faith that guided Pompey, Ellen, and Della Ball to produce 17 branches to our tree. There are more than 800 Descendants of Pompey B. Hines .
