book description

"Black Teacher" is a memoir by Beryl Gilroy, who moved from British Guiana to London in 1952. Raising two children in suburbia and becoming one of the first black headteachers in Britain, Gilroy's life took unexpected turns. Her memoir is a rediscovered classic, providing a rare insight into the Windrush generation and serving as a testament to how her dignity, ambition, and spirit transcended her era.
