Sharing Knowledge

“One size does not fit all.” Dr. Robert (Dr. Bert) Davis Veterinarian, Biology Teacher, President and CEO of America’s Black Holocaust Museum This special speaker series is brought to you by the Alpha Theta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, as part of the “Go-to-High School, Go-to-College” initiative. Through this series, we will celebrate the impact and legacy of four Alpha educators. “How do we change the narrative of Black people in America?” Education is in his DNA. As the child of a teacher, Dr. Bert Davis had to read books every day, in addition to his assigned school books. This foundation gave him a love of sharing knowledge and the understanding that real education starts at home. As a biology teacher and veterinarian, Dr. Bert speaks about the lightbulb moments that happen when students engage with animals, and the power of attending a HBCU, where you are considered more than a number. Dr. Davis believes that education serves as the key to unlock opportunities, and is a key factor for economic development. In addition to his role as President and CEO of America’s Black Holocaust Museum, Dr. Davis taught at Tuskegee University as well as Harold Washington College.

Teachers are Earth's Mightiest Superheroes and their stories can inspire generations. The Black Educators Matter: Project 500 Podcast is on a journey to share the stories of 500 Black educators. Why? Research shows that Black students who have even one Black teacher are more likely to graduate, attend college, and see themselves reflected in positions of leadership. White students also benefit from learning from a diverse teaching force. This podcast is necessary because storytelling is the bridge that connects data to humanity—showing the world why Black educators matter.
