Pay Homage to Female African American Educators
Abstract
The poet Maya Angelou said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” I understand. In 1967, when I was nine years old and in the fourth grade, I had my first African American teacher. Mrs. Hisbon taught math and science and was my homeroom teacher. I learned a lot from her, but it was definitely how she made me feel that put her in the category of one of my all‐time favorite teachers.
