Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1898 Birthplace Charleston, South Carolina, USA Death Date 1987 Occupation Educator and Civil Rights Activist Biographical Text Septima Clark was an educator and civil rights activist who developed literacy and citizenship workshops that were crucial to the campaign for voting rights for African Americans in the south during the 1960s. Clark grew up a strictly segregated society which shaped her outlook on social justice. Because she was African American, her elementary education was not at the same level as white children. A high school opened in 1914 so that she could graduate and take a state examination to start teaching. As an African American, she was barred from teaching in the Charleston public schools, but she could teach on the Sea Islands. Gross disparities represented white and black education. She became politically involved in 1919 when she started actively attending NAACP meetings. She settled in Columbia, South Carolina where she taught at the Booker T. Washington High School. Clark is still remembered as an outstanding educator. She taught there for eighteen years and became more involved in civil rights activism. Clark went on to study with W.E.B. DuBois and earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees. She was an influential figure in the long Civil Rights Movement and one that is too often forgotten. Bibliography McFadden, Grace Jordan.

After growing up in poverty and often going hungry as a child, she spent her life in service to issues of segregation and injustice in the south. Much of her work took place within the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which was comprised mostly of African-American students engaging in acts of civil disobedience. In 1964, Hamer helped found the Mississippi Freedom of Democratic Party. A famous quote from Fannie Lou, made into her epitaph, is “I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Bibliography Asch, Chris Myers.
