Susie King Taylor (1848-1912) was an American nurse, educator and memoirist. Born into slavery in coastal Georgia, she is known for being the first African-American nurse during the American Civil War.
In 1902 she published her memoirs, "Reminiscences of My Life in Camp with the 33d United States Colored Troops, Late 1st S.C. Volunteers", becoming the first African American woman to publish an account of her experiences during the Civil War.
She ended her book on a positive note: “What a wonderful revolution! In 1861 the Southern papers were full of advertisements for ‘slaves,’ but now, despite all the hindrances and ‘race problems,’ my people are striving to attain the full standard of all other races born free in the sight of God, and in a number of instances have succeeded. Justice we ask--to be citizens of these United States, where so many of our people have shed their blood with their white comrades, that the stars and stripes should never be polluted.”

Commemorated on a new mural in Sarasota’s Rosemary District, Emma E. Booker began teaching at Sarasota County’s first black school in 1918. At a time of racial segregation, the school was starved of resources, with old orange crates being used as desks and relying on hand-me-down books discarded from white schools. Eventually achieving recognition for her pioneering efforts, Emma E. Booker gave her name to a local elementary school - which President George W. Bush was visiting when he was informed of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
The woman is caring for two children. She encourages the older one to read. Inscribed on his scroll is the moral: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."
The woman personifies the virtue of Caritas(Charity) in her role as educator, a typical Italian theme. With this scuplture Bartolini contributed to a topical discussion at the time (18th century) about the importance of education in Tuscany
This here was my first sculpture instructor. I am 90% positive that her medium of choice is painting, though.
“Order is found in things working beneficially together. It is not the forced condition of neatness, tidiness, and straightness, all of which are, in design or energy terms, disordered. True order may lie in apparent confusion . ."

(wool) Marilou Schultz (born November 6, 1954) is a Navajo weaver, artist, and educator. She has exhibited her weavings nationally and internationally, including at the documenta 14 in Kassel, Germany.
Schultz is a math teacher as well as an artist, and she is known for her science and data-inspired weavings.
Although she began weaving as a means of financial support, her love of the craft has evolved into a method of innovation and sharing her culture with others. She utilizes traditional methods learned from her mother such as plain weave, twill and double twill, and raised outline weavings, though she has also developed unique dyeing techniques with both aniline and natural dyes. Natural dyes that she uses includes cochineal and indigo. She frequently uses wool from Churro sheep raised by her family.
In 1994, Intel commissioned Schultz to weave "Replica of a Chip," which depicted a Pentium microprocessor, a computer circuit board, and referenced the historical workforce of Navajo women assembling circuit boards at an Intel factory located on a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. (Wikipedia)

About Dr. Takeshi Yamada:
Educator, medical assistant, author and artist Takeshi Yamada was born and raised at a traditional and respectable house of samurai in Osaka, Japan in 1960. He studied art at Nakanoshima College of Art in Osaka, Japan. As an international exchange student of Osaka Art University, he moved to the United States in 1983 and studied art at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, CA and Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD in 1983-85, and completed his Bachelor of Fine Art degree in 1985.
Yamada obtained his Master of Fine Art Degree in 1987 at the University of Michigan, School of Art in Ann Arbor, MI. Yamada’s “Visual Anthropology Artworks” reflects unique, distinctive and often quickly disappearing culture around him. In 1987, Yamada moved to Chicago, and by 1990, Yamada successfully fused Eastern and Western visual culture and variety of cross-cultural mythology in urban allegories, and he became a major figure of the River North (“SUHU” district) art scene. During that time he also developed a provocative media persona and established his unique style of super-realism paintings furnishing ghostly images of people and optically enhanced pictorial structures. By 1990, his artworks were widely exhibited internationally. In 2000, Yamada moved to New York City.
Today, he is highly media-featured and internationally famed for his “rogue taxidermy” sculptures and large-scale installations, which he calls “specimens” rather than “artworks”. He also calls himself “super artist” and “gate keeper” rather than the “(self-expressing) artist“. His passion for Cabinet of Curiosities started when he was in kindergarten, collecting natural specimens and built his own Wunderkammer (German word to express “Cabinet of Curiosities“). At age eight, he started creating “rogue taxidermy monsters” such as two-headed lizards, by assembling different parts of animal carcasses.
Internationally, Yamada had over 600 major fine art exhibitions including 50 solo exhibitions including Spain, The Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Columbia, and the United States. Yamada also taught classes and made public speeches at over 40 educational institutions including American Museum of Natural History, Louisiana State Museum, Laurenand Rogers Museum of Art, International Museum of Surgical Science, University of Minnesota, Montana State University, Eastern Oregon University, Illinois Institute of Technology, Mount Vernon Nazarene College, Salem State College, Osaka College of Arts, Chemeketa Community College, Maryland Institute College of Art, etc. Yamada’s artworks are collection of over 30 museums and universities in addition to hundreds of corporate/private art collectors internationally. Yamada and his artworks were featured in over 400 video websites. In addition, rogue taxidermy artworks, sideshow gaffs, cryptozoological artworks, large sideshow banners and showfronts created by Yamada in the last 40 years have been exhibited at over 100 of state fairs and festivals annually nationwide, up to and including the present.
Yamada won numerous prestigious awards and honors i.e., “International Man of the Year”, “Outstanding Artists and Designers of the 20th Century”, “2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century”, “International Educator of the Year”, “One Thousand Great Americans”, “Outstanding People of the 20th Century”, “21st Century Award for Achievement”, “Who’s Who in America” and “Who’s Who in The World”. The Mayors of New Orleans, Louisiana and Gary, Indiana awarded him the “Key to the City”. Yamada’s artworks are collections of many museums and universities/colleges i.e., Louisiana State Museum, New Orleans Museum of Art, University of Michigan Museum of Art, Chicago Athenaeum Museum, Eastern Oregon University, Montana State University and Ohio State University.
Yamada was profiled in numerous TV programs in the United States, Japan and Philippine, Columbia, i.e., A&E History Channel, Brooklyn Cable Access Television, “Chicago’s Very Own” in Chicago, “Takeshi Yamada’s Divine Comedy” in New Orleans, and Chicago Public Television’s Channel ID.

Teachers and Counselors from around the state witness aerial refueling aboard a KC-135R from the 128th Air Refueling Wing, Milwaukee WI
The education staff member in the foreground describes the African penguins, their life and diet, as a zoo keeper feeds them in their enclosure. Standing to my right were guests, watching the process.
At the Lehigh Valley Zoo, where I more recently have begun to volunteer, the penguin exhibit is the most prominent feature visible to people arriving through the gate.
Built in 1846, this adobe structure known as the Esquida/ Downs/ Dietrich house has had several additions and renovations. The house is currently the home of the Little Studio Gallery in La Villita , an art village in San Antonio, Texas. La Villita lies just off of San Antonio's famous Riverwalk on the south bank of the San Antonio River . The village was one of San Antonio's first neighborhoods. Originally a settlement of primitive huts for the Spanish soldiers stationed at the Mission San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo). The village became more permanent after the Flood of 1819 when brick, stone and adobe houses replaced the earlier structures. By 1836, La Villita was a village of considerable size. That year it was the site of General Santa Ana's cannon line during the Battle of the Alamo. Santa Ana and the federal Mexican Forces defeated the Texan rebels at the Alamo but went on to lose the war at the Battle of San Jacinto near Houston and San Antonio became one of the prominent cities in then independent Texas. In December, 1845 Texas joined the United States. By late in the 19th century, European immigrants from Germany and France moved into San Antonio and the LaVillita neighborhood.. These pioneers became San Antonio's business leaders, bankers, educators, and craftsmen. The cultural mix that occurred is best illustrated by the variety of architectural styles reflected in La Villita's buildings. The architecture portrays the evolution of buildings from palisado to Victorian Houses.The first part of the 20th century saw La Villita decline into a slum area. But in 1939 the city broke ground on the San Antonio River Walk development. As part of that development, city fathers led by Mayor Maury Maverick acted to preserve LaVillita. Today La Villita is a thriving art community and a little piece of San Antonio history preserved for all to enjoy.La Villita is listed on the National Register of Historic Districts.
