After the Civil War and with the advent of Reconstruction, Baltimore began offering public school education to its African American children. From 1878-1889, the Peale was the site of one of the earliest schools in Baltimore’s new Colored School system, and the first high school for African Americans in the City. The Peale is now a Center for cultural storytelling about Baltimore's people and places, but racial and economic segregation persists in Baltimore's public schools.
