How Just One Black Teacher Impacted a Life
"My favorite Black Teacher was Miss Campbell in 2nd grade. Brenda Campbell had a great smile and a warm demeanor that welcomed every student each morning. And best of all, she allowed me to hang out with her helping with the mimeograph machine after school while my older sister was in gymnastics practice. Miss Campbell encouraged me, believed in me, and supported me in a predominately white school and space." ~Tanya

At the Black Teacher Project, we believe that all youth benefit from having a Black Teacher in their lives, someone to learn from, someone to look up to, someone who will help shape their lives. We believe that Black Teachers rock, and we want to celebrate them during Black History Month with stories of their impact on our lives.
