Honoring the Legacy of the Weaver Orphan Home – Black History Month Spotlight

In 1904, Rev. William B. and Anna Belle Weaver, both graduates of Hampton Institute (now Hampton University), opened the Weaver Orphan Home—a place of refuge and hope for African American children who had lost their parents. Situated on a 25-acre farm on West Queen Street in Hampton, the home became a sanctuary for more than 800 children between the ages of 4 and 17 over the years.

In the early days, the Weavers’ two-story frame house held 26 cots, but it lacked running water and indoor plumbing for many years. Yet, through hard work, love, and an unshakable commitment to these children, the Weavers provided more than just shelter. They instilled responsibility, with girls helping in the home and boys working the farm, teaching valuable life skills that would serve them into adulthood.

After the passing of Rev. and Mrs. Weaver, their children carried on their legacy until 1965. Their unwavering dedication left a lasting imprint on Hampton’s history and reminds us of the power of faith, education, and community in transforming lives.

As we celebrate Black History Month, we honor the Weavers and all who played a part in shaping the future for so many children. Their story continues to inspire those working to support vulnerable families today.
