This has been on my mind for a long time, so now I have to ask everyone: Why aren’t Black female teachers honored in movies?

I watched Dangerous Minds and Freedom Writers recenlty (yes, I am a little behind).  While both pretty much shared the same theme about White female school teachers that changed the lives of their inner city students, it was a little disheartening to know that there are Black teachers that change the lives of students every day that are not honored on the big screen.  For many of these women, being in the throes of young people is also a challenge, yet they are overlooked.

Well, I would like to give much love to all Black school teachers who geninuely care about their students, and do all they can to educate in spite of their challenges.  This is only for the teachers that care.  Even though you are not honored on the big screens like other people, you are truly appreciated!
