Publisher's Synopsis
Born in 1933, in a segregated little corner of Washington DC, Wilma Holmes has spent most of her life and career dedicated to breaking racial barriers and dismantling discriminatory practices in the classroom. Her passion for education and politics has been a guidepost for several generations of future leaders and will inspire anyone with dreams of making a difference.
Part autobiography, part social commentary, this book isn't just a look at a remarkable life, but a type of handbook to be a more inspired teacher and stronger principal. Holmes has provided the world an inspirational light to be guided by.
