I grew up in Salt Lake City. And I was taught primarily by white, Mormon women. They had the same standards of expectations for me as for every other student, and this was in 1957, before it was popular. I don’t know if they were people of good will who simply weren’t bigots or whether they were just good teachers doing their jobs. http://www.sltrib.com/2004/May/05162004/utah/167049.asp
