The sign had a quote about the importance of education from London Ferebee, a formerly enslaved man. There was also information on the sign about the penalties under North Carolina law for enslaved people to teach other enslaved people, as well as a bit of info about schools that the formerly enslaved attended
If you have a chance to visit Fort Raleigh - I highly recommend taking the time to explore the Freedom Trail and its interpretive displays. https://www.nps.gov/fora/learn/historyculture/civil-war-and-freedmen-s-colony.htm
