Abstract:
|
Through obtaining an education at some predominantly African American secondary and post-secondary schools, African American women became teachers which enabled them to better educate the African American community. This review of the literature explores how African American women played a tremendous role in the education of African Americans when parts of American society forbade some African Americans from obtaining a formal education. It will investigate how access to educational opportunities provided African American women with the tools to teach other African Americans; and African American women’s educational philosophies that are often invisible, but became instrumental in the education of African Americans. I suggest some ways in which researchers can conduct research and work with local communities, parents, teachers, and students to provide better learning experiences for African American students. |
