    The 19th century consisted of many restrictions which made it nearly impossible for women of colour to be recognized for their successes. Helen Harper’s typology of the role of education policy outlines the unjust treatment and challenges that Mary Bibb’s legacy had endured based on social difference. A few of the obstacles that Mary Bibb faced as a black teacher in the Canadian West was the omission of her accomplishments, and the insufficient funds which resulted in the closure of her schools.
