At the time, American society was deeply segregated and unequal, and orphans of color were often neglected and discriminated against. Colored Orphan Asylum was created to provide these socially neglected orphans with a safe, loving place to live and educational opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20682-1024x514.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5028\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20682-1024x514.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20682-300x151.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20682-768x386.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20682.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1006\" data-id=\"5027\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20681-1024x1006.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20681-1024x1006.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20681-300x295.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20681-768x754.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20681.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-f56f613f wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"687\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/New_York_Draft_Riots_Harpers_colored_asylum-1024x687.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/New_York_Draft_Riots_Harpers_colored_asylum-1024x687.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/New_York_Draft_Riots_Harpers_colored_asylum-300x201.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/New_York_Draft_Riots_Harpers_colored_asylum-768x515.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/New_York_Draft_Riots_Harpers_colored_asylum.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Burning in 1863<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5029\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20684.jpg 820w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20684-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2023\/08\/large_12359.20684-768x540.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the orphanage was not entirely immune to the racial discrimination that was prevalent at the time. During the New York draft riots of 1863, the orphanage was attacked and set on fire by a mob, but the children were able to evacuate in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the attacks, the orphanage was relocated and rebuilt several times. With advances in social attitudes and changes in the law, the orphanages were gradually transformed to focus more on education and social integration efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, Colored Orphan Asylum is more than a historical memory; it is a timeless lesson in human rights, social justice and racial equality. It bears witness to the setbacks and progress of society and reflects the strength of human resilience and love in the face of adversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>History<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Virtual Parlor Chat: History of the New York &#039;Colored&#039; Orphan Asylum\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9Vhf5Hn6_XA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>History of the New York &#8216;Colored&#8217; Orphan Asylum<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"New York Rioters  Attack The Orphan Asylum for Colored Children\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fX9cYupKYwE?start=8&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>New York Rioters Attack The Orphan Asylum for Colored Children<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>More Information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/civil-war-draft-riot-black-children-orphanage\/11529534\/\">Civil War Draft Riot: Orphans caught in middle of racist resistance to fighting in war<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theclio.com\/entry\/12359\">New York Colored Orphan Asylum, (1836-1863)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Reference:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/theclio.com\/entry\/12359\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/theclio.com\/entry\/12359<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KN9K2smR8dM\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KN9K2smR8dM<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colored_Orphan_Asylum\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colored_Orphan_Asylum<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-light-green-cyan-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/stage.openvirtualworlds.org\/worldheritage2023\/?page_id=5021\">Home Page<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Colored Orphan Asylum, or Colored Orphanage, is a significant historical site located in New York City.
