​

Septima Poinsette Clark was born on May 3, 1898, in Charleston, in north Carolina. When she was young her mom wanted her to have a education so she went through public school and i guess it paid off because she became a teacher while being apart of the NAACP group. While in the NAACP she was trying to get the city to hire African American people to be able to become a teacher she was very influential about what she had to say and she was going to say it.
