Theodore R. & Thelma A. Gibson Charter School

Theodore R. and Thelma A. Gibson Charter School was founded by Mrs. Thelma Gibson in honor of her late husband, Reverend Theodore Gibson. Reverend Gibson was a civil rights activist and president of the Miami chapter of the N.A.A.C.P. from 1954 to 1964. He was the third African American to serve on the Miami City Commission (1972 – 1981). He pushed for quality of life improvements there – including the passage of ordinances requiring running water, flushing toilets, and septic tanks, as well as the creation of a health clinic and day-care center.
