Supreme Court
I've heard a wonderful story about a remarkable teacher. (I can't recall her name - was it Mrs. Worcester? I will look it up and confirm.) When she was threatened for attempting to teach the black slave children (yes, the rich Cherokee owned slaves) she didn't give up on them. The parents feared for the safety of their children, so they were no longer allowed to attend the school. This remarkable woman taught all day in the school house, then traveled to the slave homes to personally educate their children.
