Black History Month - Black History of Alberta Gwendolyn Hooks was born in Keystone (now Breton) to an Oklahoma dad and a Kansas mother. Her parents arrived as one of 52 farming families escaping Jim Crow laws and lynching in the southern United States. After attending schools from elementary to college in various Alberta rural districts, Gwen Hooks began her teaching career in the early 1940s. She describes many instances of racism in schools, and restrictions she faced in employment during her teaching career. But, determined to be a role model, Gwen became the principal of a special education school for a decade, president of her Alberta Teachers’ Association local chapter, and president of the Breton and District Historical Society.
