A Florida elementary school teacher said he quit his job after another staff member removed his pictures depicting African American leaders.

Michael James, who taught at O.J. Semmes Elementary School in Pensacola, said he had posted images on a bulletin board depicting civil rights icons Martin Luther King Jr. and Harriet Tubman, scientist George Washington Carver and former Secretary of State Colin Powell.

He told the Pensacola News Journal that he wanted to display the images so the students, a majority of whom are Black, could see someone they could relate to.

It would depend on the purpose of the bulletin board. 

If it’s on the classroom wall behind the teachers desk, as the story says, it can serve any purpose related to teaching. 

I use mine for putting up pictures or independent writing carried out by my students. Other teachers have different things up.
