I don't remember his name, but he was my history / home room teacher in 7th grade. In terms of pedagogy he was pretty good, probably not the best. But I'll always remember him for being the first black male teacher I ever had. Previously my teachers were all white women. It really meant something to have someone who looked like me in that position of authority. I even considered becoming a teacher before coming to my senses. ;)
