I am who I am because of 3 strong, black male teachers. An ode to each is below. So much love for the south Phoenix community that raised me & @CenterBlackEd for sharing this student-led movement ♥️

I grew up dirt poor in the Puget Sound area of US. There were no people of color in my school for the first 3 years of my schooling. When the KKK started burning crosses in yards of the handful of non-white neighbors, my mom left my dad to come home to AZ where she grew up. 1/5
Mr. Washington, John R. Davis in @RSDNo66: 4th grade & 1st black teacher. His suits were fly, pocket watch punctuated gestures, he paced & preached hope. And he taught me men could be kind, that I was worthy, and held high standards for learning. #WeNeedBlackTeachers 2/5
