African Greetings Again Family,
Just received word that our "Mama Gerri", Prof. Geraldine Price,
Master Teacher and Revolutionary of Early Childhood Education and Pan
African Principles has made her transition.
"Mama Gerri" was a pioneer in many aspects of education and worked relentlessly
to ensure that 4 year college students could receive day care for their children
while attending school. Prior to her efforts only 2 year college students
could receive these services which kept many from receiving 4 year college degree
due to lack of day care for their children.
She worked side by side with Prof. Jeffries,and others in the battle for the Black Studies Department at City College and is solely responsible for ensuring that thousands of students were able to complete their college studies degrees and thousands more children were educated about who they are as Africans. She was a City College Professor in Harlem NY for several years.
Her day care center was an oasis in a very dry landscape. We shall always be in her
debt. She was a remarkable African warrior, Queen Mother and friend.
All she asked of those of us who worked with and for her was "TO CHANGE" because for
her change meant GROWTH. Let us continue to remember her lessons, internalize them,
build upon her legacy and continue to grow.
Sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to her family - her 2 sons, daughters in law, grandchildren, friends and our community. Details forthcoming about arrangements.
