Louise Archer

Louise A. Reeves Archer (October 23, 1893 – April 1, 1948) was an American teacher, principal, and activist who fought to educate African Americans during the 1930s and 1940s. During this era, racial barriers severely limited a black student's access to education. These students had limited resources compared to white children and were typically denied education beyond the seventh grade, even as twelve grades became common practice elsewhere.
