Description

Framed by Black feminist thought, Critical Race Theory, and historical context, American Educator, Activist, and Advocate: Eleanor Rebecca Powell Archer by Kay Ann Taylor examines Eleanor’s rich life through her career as a teacher at Sumner High School in Kansas City and as one of the first Black public school teachers in Des Moines, Iowa. After studying for a textiles profession and attending her first Delta Sigma Theta convention in 1938, Eleanor realized she needed to pursue teaching due to constraints of race and gender. The obstacles Eleanor faced inform her story through her self-determination, resilience, and activism. This in-depth research into Eleanor’s life provides insight for academics to acknowledge the lives and ideas of women facing segregation, racism, and sexism over time, thereby clarifying Black women’s standpoint. This book answers the call for more biographies to be written about Black women and illustrates that ordinary people can be extraordinary.
