There was a time when colored school teachers were revered by practically
everybody in their communities, both white and colored. Being a colored teacher
in the South was a kind of a status. That day extended from its post-slavery
beginning to World War I, for a period afterwards, certainly to World War II,
and is said to exist in some remote places till today. These respected mentors
were predominantly female and taught in public elementary schools where the
bulk of southern colored school attendance was concentrated.
Traditionally these women were CCC— the “cream of the colored community,” their
character without public flaws; dedication to the classroom their faith and
religion. They were choice ladies sought after and targeted maritally by a
coterie of colored men, many who had not completed the elementary grades, and
were low wage earners, whose “thang” was to marry one of these women
distinguished by their roll books and having principals as immediate bosses.
Most of these men were decent, and some loved the women who would elevate them
to statures they would never attain otherwise. |
