Description
Marshall, Texas Teacher Rebecca J. Buard spent her childhood in near-total segregation amid a tightly knit extended Black family near Caddo Lake in East Texas. She began her teaching career in an all-Black school during segregation and was among the first Black teachers to help lead integration at previously all-white Marshall Senior High School. Her common sense approach to her students and her personal standards of fairness guided her efforts through an historic period.
