Who were the Arlington teachers?

I went to public schools from 1951 to 1963.
With one exception (my 12th grade English teacher), 
my teachers were 100% white women.
I thank them for the dedication they did to promote my intellectual development.

Now, let me fast forward to Arlington County, Virginia in the 2000s.
For whom does Arlington County name its education center?
You guessed it, a black woman.

Who did the most for education in Arlington in the 20th century?
And who is honored by the name of its education center?
I think the answer is clear.
