  • This 1930 photograph depicts the staff of Berea College's Opportunity School. This group most likely held a meeting at the John C. Campbell Folk School where the photograph was taken by an unknown photographer. Individuals are identified on the back of the photograph as (left to right): Helen Dingman, Prof. Hatcher, May D. Smith, Charles T. Morgan, and Allen Eaton. Dingman was head of Berea Opportunity School. Both Dingman and Eaton were directly involved in the Craft Revival movement and were instrumental in founding the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild.
