hers was a modest career: she received no accolades, no civic recognition. her name did not appear in headlines. nonetheless, her candor captured the attention of her students as she told history’s untold stories. from the trail of tears to the widespread resistance to desegregation, this teacher shared the injustices that shaped history. she encouraged her students to delve deeper than the facts presented in their textbooks. as a result, she created a generation of activists among her alumni. her pension was unimpressive; her legacy is not.
