Hampton University (formerly Hampton Institute) is a university located in Hampton, Virginia. The campus overlooking the northern edge of the harbor of Hampton Roads was founded on the grounds of a former plantation shortly after the end of the American Civil War. Among the school's famous alumni is Dr. Booker T. Washington. The historic Emancipation Oak tree, under which the Emancipation Proclamation was read to local freedmen and under which Mary Smith Peake taught the first classes on September 17, 1861, is still located on the campus today.
