Definition

  • The contributions of African American female teachers have left an indelible mark on U.S. educational institutions, teaching philosophies, political activity, and larger educational agendas of African American communities. Negotiating the triple oppressions of race, gender, and class, African American female teachers developed distinct teaching strategies underscored by a mission of racial uplift, feminist stances, and commitment to social change.
