Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Dr. Martin D. Jenkins, PhD (September 4, 1904 1978) was an African American educator, known for his pioneering work in the field of education. The only child of David W. and Josephine (Miller) Jenkins, Martin was born in Terre Haute, Indiana. Jenkins's father was a civil engineer, a position that placed his family among the approximately 10 middle-class African-American families living in Terre Haute at that time. Jenkins attended a racially segregated public elementary school and later entered a large, integrated high school of over 1500 students where he was one of only a few African-American students in his graduating class of 1921. Jenkins attended Wiley High School. As captain of the track team and its top sprinter, Jenkins established Vigo County records in the 50-yard (5.6 seconds), 100-yard (10.2) and 220-yard (24.0) dashes. He then won the district meet in the 100 and 220 to advance to the state finals. Dr. Martin D. Jenkins, PhD (September 4, 1904 1978) was an African American educator, known for his pioneering work in the field of education.
