[90] In this period a very noteworthy step was taken by the Negro
teachers. In 1878 they organized a State teachers' association. In
that year its meeting was held in Columbia, Missouri, and a number of
professors in the State University took an active part. The next year
the Association met in Jefferson City. Since that time, the meeting of
the Association has become an annual affair.
