THE GLOUCESTER INSTITUTE
TGI provides a peaceful place to restore and refresh innovators and trailblazers from diverse agencies that impact our global society. As a result, it is our mission to train and nurture students that are emerging leaders across the country. TGI continues the work and memory of Dr. Robert Russa Moton, the second President of Tuskegee Institute, through programs, activities, and maintenance of his historic home, Holly Knoll. A visit to this breathtaking property, which is the birthplace of the United Negro College Fund, engages all the senses capturing the history of the “cradle of the civil rights movement.”
