Frank Trigg

Frank John Trigg Jr. (–1933) was an American educator, academic administrator, and college president. He served as the 8th president of Bennett College, a historically black women's college in Greensboro, North Carolina. Trigg was the first black male teacher and the first Black high school principal in the city of Lynchburg, Virginia. Some records described him as "mulatto". He was born enslaved, and owned by John Buchanan Floyd, the 31st Governor of Virginia. After Floyd's death in 1863, Trigg who now had one arm was inherited by Floyd's son-in-law named Hughes, who suggested Trigg start his education since he could no longer be a physical worker. He was the first superintendent of black schools in Lynchburg.

The Virginia Teachers' Association for Blacks was co-founded by Trigg.

His son Harold Leonard Trigg (1893–1978) also worked as an educator and college president.

In 2011, a historical marker in his memory was erected by the Virginia Department of Historic Resources (DHR) in Lynchburg. Trigg had lived in a residence at 1422 Pierce Street in Lynchburg, later the home of Dr. Robert Walter Johnson; the house named the Dr. Robert Walter Johnson House and Tennis Court was subject to preservation efforts.
