language (L. A. Johnson Jan. 12, 2017)
Charlotte Forten was the first Black teacher hired to teach in the public schools of Salem Massachusetts. She was born free into a wealth and socially prominant Black family. She, as were her parents and grandparents, was active in the antislavery movement and lived to see the success of that movement when slaves living in America were emancipated. This book highlights her early childhood, her education, and her teaching experiences on the South Carolina Sea Islands.
