This February, we’re celebrating Black History Month by recognizing influential Black teachers who changed the course of education in America. Fanny Jackson Cop...pin was the country’s first Black principal. She was also fiercely passionate about higher education for women and utilized her role to expand the school's curriculum and develop opportunities to showcase the work of her female students. Today, Coppin State University is named in her honor. #bhm #blackhistorymonth #educators #education #history #fannyjacksoncoppin #coppin

In honor of Black History Month, we're highlighting influential Black educators who changed the course of education in America. This week, our focus is on Kell...y Miller, the first Black man to attend John Hopkins University and the first Black mathematics graduate student. In his later position as dean of Howard University’s College of Arts and Sciences, he modernized the curriculum and tripled enrollment in his first four years. How, you ask? Visit our blog to find out and learn how you can give back to an organization that embodies the spirit of these educators and their legacy. https://privateprep.com//4-black-educators-who-changed-hi/ #bhm #blackhistorymonth #educators #education #history #kellymiller #math #mathematics #howarduniversity #johnhopkins
