Beulah Rucker Oliver knew she wanted to be a teacher when she was 5 years old. A Senate resolution in the Georgia General Assembly would honor the African-American leader for her work in education in the Hall County-Gainesville area. It’s expected to be considered soon by the Georgia House of Representatives.
