ELK GROVE, Calif. Irene B. West, the first black teacher in Elk Grove, has died at the age of 88. She is remembered by her children Clifton, Cornel, Cheryl and Cynthia as well as her grandchildren and extended family.
West moved to Elk Grove in the 1960s when her husband was stationed at McClellan Air Force Base. At the time, Elk Grove had virtually no black population. West became a teacher in 1962.
Born and raised in the south in the 1930s, you d think the racial climate of America would make her fearful to go for a teaching job in a place where there were no other black people. But West didn t let that stop her.

Becky Rutland and Leslianna Garlington have black and white children in Williamson County Schools. I feel like weâre in a predominantly white area, Rutland said, and my kids are definitely the minority. Thereâs not a lot of representation, meaning that my children donât go to school and see teachers and staff members that look like them.
