Abstract	This article is a conversation with Juliet King, EdD, the AMS 2022 Living Legacy. Dr. King began her career in South Florida some five decades ago, teaching in Miami-Dade County when public schools were beginning to desegregate. She transferred to an inner-city school with a Title I Montessori program; this was her first introduction to the Montessori Method. To preserve Montessori access to underserved children, Dr. King and her colleague Dr. Lucy Canzoneri-Golden cofounded Coral Reef Montessori Academy (CRMA), the first public Montessori charter school in the state of Florida, in 1998. Dr. King has dedicated her life to advancing Montessori, especially for underrepresented populations. CRMA, which began with 3 classrooms serving 86 students, now has 28 classrooms and over 600 students, and is an AMS-accredited Montessori public school. Under Dr. King's leadership, CRMA has sought to promote social justice, diversity, and inclusiveness. Its board and student body are 80% people of the global majority; 25% of lead teachers are Black and 54% are Latinx. Through participation in local, national, and global projects, CRMA students have access to real-life civic, humanitarian equity and inclusion work. (ERIC).
