Шаблон:Distinguish Hearne Academy, founded in 1881, was a school for African Americans during the post-Reconstruction era in Hearne, Texas. It was renamed and relocated in 1909 to become Fort Worth Industrial and Mechanical College in Fort Worth, Texas.[1] It was modeled after Tuskegee Institute.[2] That institution closed in 1929 after struggling financially.[3]

The school was supported by Baptist organizations. It offered elementary through secondary, college preparatory, and industrial classes.[3]

Major J. Johnson was its president in 1916.[4] Elizabeth Stumm, a teacher and writer who was married to a missionary priest, taught at the school. She was African American.
