“I fear I am integrating my people into a burning house.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

In many ways, the lack of Black teachers in public schools is a direct impact of historical and legacy policies. Citing data from the census and educational archives, "the reduction in the number of black teachers was correlated with a district’s composition of students: Districts with the lowest percentage of black students saw the highest percentage reduction in black teachers."

Black teachers now make up less than 10% of teachers in public schools. Research and data like this is not only important to support, but helps to advocate for policy changes in education that address the problem to better serve Black students.
