Abstract	Growing research evidence on the ethic of care suggests that caring should be an integral part of the pedagogical methods implemented in schools. However, the colour blind "community of care" often described in the literature does not disaggregate lines of ethnicity or race and much of this existing literature concerns elementary- and middle-school students. This phenomenological study examined teacher care for African American secondary students, through a theoretical lens of critical race and care theory, as it was represented through the counter stories of eight "successful" African American teachers. Findings revealed that teachers' definitions and perceptions of care reflected a blend of traditional care literature, critical race theory and the literature on African American teachers before and after the US Supreme Court's landmark "Brown" decision on integration. Findings also reveal the possibility of a pedagogy that I refer to as "culturally relevant critical teacher care." (Contains 2 tables and 5 notes.) (As Provided).
