My dad's first teaching job was in Washington County PA

He graduated and entered the teaching force in the 1960's and got his first job as a speech therapist in Washington Co. PA. He would bring paper and other supplies from the white schools he worked at to the black school. The black school had no principal, and grades shared rooms. Good to see that county help deliver a great victory for us on Tuesday.
