<div class="page-content">
<p>The experiences we have in childhood often impact the lives we live. I know that one such experience altered the trajectory of mine, fueling two passions – my love of teaching and my love for animals. It happened decades ago at Kester Avenue Elementary School while I was a student.</p>
<p>More than twenty years have passed since I became an educator. But recently, while in conversation with a progressive activist, where we were discussing the lack of Black male teachers in our public schools – I reflected on one of my favorite teachers, ironically, a Black man named Mr. White. I met Mr. White when I was a kid at Kester.</p>
<p>I never knew Mr. White’s first name. When you’re in the third grade it doesn’t occur to you to even ask. I only knew that when Mr. White showed up, I was in for a treat. Mr. White conducted a program that introduced elementary school children to exotic animals – animals he brought into the classroom once a week. This was a hands-on program and I loved it!!</p>
<p>I am a product of the Los Angeles Unified School District. I like to think that I am an example of what public education can produce. But throughout my elementary school years from K-12, I only had two male Black teachers, Mr. White who was only a visiting teacher once a week and Mr. Gregory, my geography teacher in high school.</p>
<p>Mr. Gregory taught the high school geography class I took only to meet the science requirement to graduate. In other words, it wasn’t a class I had a lot of interest in – to make matters worse it was my last class of the day. No one loved his class and even fewer gave their 100%. However Mr. Gregory also had a lasting impact on my life.</p>
<p>He was the only teacher to pull me, the only Black boy in the class, aside and tell me that I couldn’t get away with just being average. While I was doing the same half assed work as the rest of the students, Mr. Gregory made sure I knew that I wasn’t going to make it. He told me I needed to work harder if I expected to do anything with my life. He told me, as a Black man, I didn’t have the luxury to just be present. He said life would eventually catch up with me if I didn’t go to college and get a degree.</p>
<p>Being 17 at the time, I didn’t fully understand what he meant but I kinda did. Through eyewitness observations I watched as many of my Black and Latino friends were profiled by teachers and the police. We didn’t have the same school experiences my white and Asian friends had.</p>
<p>Today, not only am I an educator but I am also deeply involved in the United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA), the second largest teacher’s union in the country as well as the California Teachers Association (CTA) where I advocate for the voice of public school teachers with our elected political representatives.</p>
<p>Perhaps because of my own personal journey, I deeply believe that K-12 public education can prepare our students to enter into four year undergraduate programs and do well. I went on to gain a bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree. But I would be remiss if I didn’t raise the issue – the elephant in the room – the lack of Black male teachers.</p>
<p>Like most school districts throughout the United States, LAUSD lacks Black male teachers. In a recent interview, president of UTLA, Cecily Myart-Cruz told the LA Progressive that there are 315,000 educators in the state of California but less than 1% of them are Black men.</p>
<p>I am a member of that 1%. I am a Black male teacher. Decades ago I was a Black boy who waited eagerly each week to see Mr. White and his travelling menagerie and later, a Black teenaged high school senior who took strong advice from Mr. Gregory. I often wonder what direction my life would have taken without them.</p>
