Margo Bellamy: President of the Anchorage School Board

Send us Fan MailMargo Bellamy was recently elected by her fellow board members to serve as president of the Anchorage School Board for the third time. Ms. Bellamy grew up in Coconut Grove, an African American neighborhood in Miami, Florida. At the end of her 8th grade year in 1964 she was chosen as one of eight Black students to integrate the nearby all white high school. We discuss that experience and how it informed her life afterwards including her move to Alaska and her almost 50 years of work in the Anchorage School District.
