| Abstract |
Educator Marie Louise Greenwood was born on November 24, 1912 in Los Angeles, California. She attended West High School in Denver, Colorado where her academic record earned her a significant scholarship. Upon graduating in 1935, Greenwood was encouraged by the minister of her church to take the Colorado State Teacher's Examination. She successfully passed the written examination and oral interview. After receiving her letter of assignment to teach at Whittier Elementary School in 1935, Greenwood became one of the first African American school teachers in Denver. In 1953, Greenwood returned to teaching part time at Newlon Elementary School. In 1955, she was reinstated as a full time teacher. Greenwood donated The Marie Greenwood Papers, a collection of materials accumulated during her years as a teacher and community volunteer from the 1930s and 1940s and from the 1980s to 2001, to the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library in Denver. |
