Voices of Our Foremothers

Sunny-Marie Birney was adoped at the age of 2 by two Euro-Americnas. They provieded her with a good life and prevent her from being a "motherless child" any longer. She felt as if she was a long way from home until she attended College of Wooster in Wooster, Ohio. There she had black proffesors that that helped her become in touch with her African-American roots and had a major impact on her life. Her proffesors inspired her to become a teacher. Now there are more and more black teachers who are inspiring those who feel they don't belong anywhere else. Birney also made a point, that is the job of every generation to do its part and pass it on, so that the next generation can do great things.
