Abstract	Although the body of research that presents the stories of Black teachers is increasing and contributing to a more accurate portrait of their knowledge and practices, few of these studies provide portraits of Black teachers as content-specific experts. Using narrative research methods, this study reports findings of three Black secondary science teachers--two females and one male--and the knowledge gained from their personal experiences in science and characteristics they bring to science teaching for Black students. The study took place in two high schools in a rural, predominantly Black school district in the Southeastern United States. The study highlights additional characteristics of Black science teachers that give attention to content-specific expertise. (As Provided).
