Horace Bumstead
Horace Bumstead (September 29, 1841 – October 14, 1919) was a Congregationalist minister and educator. He used his career to fight for African American education and became the second president of Atlanta University (1888–1907). Bumstead was one of the first white men in the United States to fight for educational rights for African Americans. As a white man, he was condemned by many for taking on this role, but African Americans rallied behind his efforts and viewed him as a spokesman.
