关于瑞秋B教授. 诺埃尔
A champion of the civil rights movement in 丹佛 and in Colorado, 雷切尔诺 was the first African American woman elected to public office in Colorado, the first African American elected to the 丹佛 Public Schools’ (DPS) Board of Education, the first African American to be a member and chair of the University of Colorado Board of Regents, and the first African American woman elected statewide in Colorado.
4月25日, 1968, she presented the DPS board with the 诺埃尔 Resolution, recognizing that the “establishment of an integrated school population is desirable to achieve equality of educational opportunity.” It directed the superintendent to develop “a comprehensive plan for the integration of the 丹佛 Public Schools.” Under a cloud of threats to 诺埃尔 and her family, the resolution passed on May 17, 1968. 美国.S. Supreme Court would eventually affirm 诺埃尔’s position in its landmark decision of 1973, 凯斯v. 丹佛学区. 1, making 丹佛 the first city outside the American South to be instructed by the country’s highest court to address de facto segregation with school busing.
诺埃尔 also played a critical role in 密歇根州立大学丹佛’s history. She came to 密歇根州立大学丹佛 as a teacher of sociology and African American Studies in 1969 and served as chair of the African American Studies Department from 1971 to 1980.
诺埃尔于2008年去世，享年90岁. During her lifetime and after, 诺埃尔’s legacy has inspired the 密歇根州立大学丹佛 社区 and beyond. 1981年，学校创建了瑞秋B. 诺埃尔杰出客座教授 to honor 诺埃尔. 许多奖项和荣誉的获得者, 诺埃尔 also lived to see a 丹佛 Public Schools middle school named in her honor. Although that middle school was closed, the building and campus is still called the 瑞秋B. 诺埃尔校区是各种特许项目的所在地. 诺埃尔社区艺术学校, 位于前蒙特贝罗高中大楼内, 包括一所高中和一所中学.
