Reverend Thomas W. Tweedy, born a slave, taught for fifty years in Campbell and Bedford counties. He was an advocate and fund-raiser for black secondary education. Tweedy and Gabriel Hunt mortgaged their personal property to erect the first Campbell County Training School for African Americans in the late 1920s.
