SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - During this Black History Month, the Sarasota County Schools and Newtown Alive are honoring the counties first black principal following the end of segregation.
The late Dorothye Smith will be honored with a life-sized large bronze metal plaque that will live at Sarasota’s Southside Elementary school.
Smith was a trailblazer in education on the Suncoast, as a longtime teacher who became the first African American Principal in the county in the early 70′s, when segregation was finished.
