Even just a share means a lot! More resources coming soon — let me know what you’d love to see next 🌱✨
Britain's first black teacher
Thomas Joseph Jenkins was the first black school teacher in Britain.
Born in 1797 on the Upper Guinea coast in West Africa, Thomas would go on to become a teacher at a time where black people were seen as intellectually 'inferior' to other races.
Mr Jenkins journey to becoming the UK's first black teacher would start with his father.
Thomas father, a local chief had established an reputation as a prominent slave trader. When his son reached the age of six, his father entrusted him to James Swanson, captain of the slave ship Prudence.
The African chief hoped that his son might receive a better education in Britain than in his home village.
As an adult, he travelled to London where he trained and worked as a teacher at the British and Foreign School Society.
Thomas graduated in January 1821 and travelled to Mauritius as a teacher.
By 1823, he was chosen to lead the newly established free Government "Model School" in Port Louis.
Thomas served the remainder of his teaching career in Mauritius and died in June 1859, leaving a widow and four children.
