Dr. Jarvis Givens, Harvard University
This talk analyzed the relationship between Dr. Woodson and African American teachers, revealing how these educators modeled what it means to be within, yet against, an oppressive school structure. The story reminds us that there were secret things teachers did, beyond the watchful eye of Jim Crow school authorities.
