Hello Professor

Ulysses Byas, a black school principal in the 1950s and 1960s, was a respected figure in the Gainesville, Georgia community, known as "Professor." His meticulous documentation of educational efforts for black students reveals how principals like him played a crucial role in fostering resistance against the oppressive educational practices of the Jim Crow South. Through Vanessa Siddle Walker's exploration of Byas's conversations and archives, the book highlights the significant influence of black educators in advocating for change and supporting their communities.
