When Anna Julia Cooper was principal of M Street High School in DC in 1892, her students outperformed even the White schools. So the White Board of Education fired her.

TEMPESTUOUS ELEMENTS, Arena Stage's latest Power Play premiere, champions the under-appreciated, local historical figure Anna J. Cooper: mother of Black feminism, brilliant educator, and embattled teacher/principal at DC's M Street High School.
