For outstanding achievement in business, Mr. Pearson was given the Harmon Award in 1927, and in recognition of his contribution to the advancement of his race in the field of education, the school board of the city of Durham named an elementary school in his honor. He was self taught until the age of twenty one, when the late Gen. Julian S.
