This qualitative study examines the ways in which an elderly African American clergywoman constructs meaningful communication and makes sense of her life, in an effort to identify culturally appropriate pedagogical models for teachers of African American students. Extensive attention is given to past records of African American clergywomen in the United States to foster greater understanding of the struggles and historical significance of a community and academic resource that has previously received little, if any attention in educational research. Combinations of the folkloristic and womanist approaches were utilized in the analysis of three field observations, and narratives included in a sermon. Three distinct themes emerged relating to celebration, prophecy, and the call. Findings were developed to suggest pedagogical strategies that teachers can learn from preachers.
