MUSEUM: The college was destroyed by arsonists.

Prudence did not fear condemnation of neighbors, prison, or threats of bodily harm. Her school was eventually open for African American women only. Only for that reason was her school vandalized, and burned did she, for the sake of her students, close the school. Skillfully she leveraged this and more for the sake of promoting her goals.
Prudence lived a life which made for ripples yet expanding in our world. Prudence Crandall has made for a better world, one which has made my word a better one. Her influence in matters of Civil Rights are hidden from view. They are properly identified in this episode.
The museum is a static representation to her life. A living and dynamic story permeates contemporary societies worldwide. That is because her actions and principles powerfully and effectively inspired her contemporaries. Each of them passed the torch forward. I am honored to pass the torch with this episode.
