Hi

Your comment: "about Samuel R. Browne and his status as "First." It was incorrect to say he was "First African American" teacher in LAUSD" does not make any sense to me. I hoping you would elaborate on that statement.

There are at least 10 books that say he was first African American Secondary High School teacher. I not sure why you feel this information is not appropiate, unless you feel all information related to "Race" is not appropiate in Wikipedia.

I posted Several Books below that validate that fact, plus his Obiturary link from the Los Angeles Times which validate that fact. This information is for you only, another reviewer deleted the information completely. I guess Wikipedia is not race friendly when come to this type of factural information
