George Kimball (attorney)

George Kimball (1787–1858) was an attorney and abolitionist in Canaan, New Hampshire.[1] He helped found and support the establishment of the Noyes School, an integrated school that attracted African American students ("colored youth")[2] from around the U.S. as well as local white students. He boarded some of the African American students attending the school until anti-abolitionists and segregationists organized a mob that destroyed the school. The University of New Hampshire has a collection with 18 of his correspondence with abolitionists.[1]
