Rosalind P. HaleStudentsReflections on the importance of role models – an African-American teacher defends use of Black role modelsThirty years ago I graduated from high school. I can still remember how excited I was getting ready to start college. I was salutatorian, of my high school graduating class. Tenths of a point separated me from the valedictorian and the student who was third. All three of us were interested in mathematics and science. We had not been told that as Blacks we weren’t supposed to do well in these areas.June 17, 2007Page 1 of 1
