Black Teacher: The Story of Beryl Gilroy

An illustrated talk for Camden Council about pioneering teacher, writer and psychotherapist, Beryl Gilroy, Camden’s first black headteacher celebrating the republication of her classic memoir Black Teacher. In the book, Beryl Gilroy recounts her experiences as a young teacher who left British Guiana to study in London in 1952, only to be faced with a racist post-war society. Nevertheless Beryl forged a revolutionary career as one of Britain's first Black headteachers.

The evening features my illustrated presentation talk about Beryl's work, impact, legacy and progressive approaches to child-centred learning that were pioneered by her.
